1) 2001 Mars Odyssey: The 2001 Mars Odyssey
orbiter is a NASA mission designed to study the Martian
environment. For the first time, we will learn what chemical
elements (e.g., carbon, iron, etc.) and minerals are present at
the planet's surface, and will look for any water ice that may lie
just below the surface. By studying landforms and their
composition, Odyssey will help us understand the planet's
climatic and geologic history. Odyssey will also record the
Martian radiation environment to determine health risks for
any future human explorers. |
