The Mars Odyssey spacecraft was launched in 2001 and entered Martian orbit in October 2001, where it has collected extensive imagery and scientific data about the Martian surface and climate over its long-term mission. Some of its scientific instruments include the Themis imaging system to detect minerals and the Gamma Ray Spectrometer to analyze surface chemistry. Mars Odyssey discovered subsurface ice near the poles and has generated maps of radiation levels and mineral distribution to advance understanding of Martian geology.

2.  October 24, 2001 NASA’S Mars Odyssey
entered in orbit.
 December 15, 2001Mars Odyssey becomes
the longest operating spacecraft.
 The odyssey continues to collect thousands
of images and data about Martian geology
, climate ,and mineralogy.
 The Odyssey spent 917 earth days doing its
job
 Then the Odyssey served as communication
relay base for the Mars Exploration Rovers

3.  Boeing’s Delta II 7925
(Launched on April 7, 2001at 11:02a.m.
[Eastern time]
(Arrived at Mars on October 24,2001)
 Supersonic parachute
 Sojourner rover (1997)
 Curiosity rover (2012)
 Spirit/Opportunity rover (2004)

5.  America sent Mars odyssey to determine
whether life ever arose on Mars
 Find out about the climates of Mars
 Find out about geology of Mars
 Get ready for humans to explore

6. Mar’s Odyssey is unmanned because it is
controlled by NASA’s Mars Exploration
Program. It is a long-term effort of robotic
exploration of the red planet.

7. 1. Themis (Thermal Emission Imaging System)-For
determining the distribution of minerals, especially ones
that can only form in the water.
2. GRS (Gamma Ray Spectrometer)-It determines the presence
of about 20 chemical elements on the planets surface.
3. MARIE (Mars Radiation Environment Experiment)- studies
radiation environment

8.  Discovered subsurface water ice near poles
 Track changes of polar ice, clouds and dust
storms
 Generated maps of radiation and minerals

9. Mars odyssey is:
 2.2 meters long
 1.7 meters tall
 2.6 meters wide
 1598 pounds including fuel and instruments
