Modern Exploration Mars Odyssey NASA’s theme for Mars exploration, “Follow the Water”, began with the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission Odyssey, and every mission since, has addressed the Mars programs’ four goals: Determine whether life ever arose on Mars Characterize the climate of Mars Characterize the geology of Mars Prepare for human exploration

Modern Exploration Mars Odyssey Objectives: Determine the abundance of hydrogen, most likely in the form of water ice, in the shallow subsurface Globally map the elements that make up the surface Acquire high-resolution thermal infrared images of surface minerals Provide information about the structure of the Martian surface Record the radiation environment in low Mars orbit as it relates to radiation-related risk to human exploration
