Comment on Mars 360-degree panoramic view from CuriosityparentComments−danielweber14yI'm not sure I understand. Gale Crater is pretty near the equator, so any equatorial satellite would pass quickly over it, but many many times per day.−uvdiv14yYou answered your own question: both satellites are in polar orbits. They pass the equator many times a day, but at a different longitude each time.
