1 Observations by NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey show a global view of Mars in intermediate energy, or epithermal, neutrons. Soil enriched in hydrogen is indicated by the deep blue colors which show a low intensity of epithermal neutrons.

2 NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft provided this view of the south pole of Mars in inter- mediate energy, or epithermal neutrons. Soil enriched in hydrogen is indicated by the deep blue colors on the map, where a low intensity of epithermal neutrons is found. This view of the south pole of Mars comes from measurements made in the first week of Mars Odyssey’s mapping, in February 2002.

3 HEND NEUTRONS Observations from NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey produced this high energy neutron detector map of martian neutrons in the southern hemisphere. The blue region around the south pole indicates a high content of hydrogen in the upper 2 to 3 meters (7 to 10 feet) of the surface.

4 The first images from NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey show mixed terrain in a daytime infrared image.

5 Jason, cycle 002, Period: Jan 25-Feb 4, 2002 The first high resolution map of significant wave height and ocean wind speed from Jason 1 oceanography satellite: a joint effort by NASA and French Centre Nationale d’Etudes Spatiales to monitor the global climate interactions.
