17) Explorers on Mars: The MARIE instrument on the
Odyssey orbiter will provide radiation data that is vital to the
eventual human exploration of Mars. Radiation from cosmic rays
can trigger cancer and cause damage to the central nervous
system. The experiment will analyze potential radiation doses that
would be experienced by future astronauts and determine the
resulting health risks to them. |
