Introduction In our society, people may think Mars would be easier to understand. Similiar to Earth, Mars may has ice and water in its atmosphere, different wheather in seasonal, and other recognizable features. However, conditions on Mars vary wildly from what people know on our own planet.Solar system has influenced numerous cultures effecting legends, religious beliefs and at the beginning of the 21st century. Mars Odyssey have long been achieved which is a part of Mars Exploration Program and was developed by NASA. This project was contracted out to Lockheed Martin, with an expected cost for the entire mission of US $297 million. Mars Odyssey observe and mapping the Martian surface at of the planet, and visible wavelengths to determine

It measures 29.4 centimeters by 23.2 centimeters by 10.8 centimeters. It was an instrument designed to measure the energy from the radiation environment of Mars using an energetic particle spectrometer. It has a 68 degree field of view and collected data during Odyssey’s crusie from Earth to Mars. A spectrometer inside this instrument measured the energy from two sources of space radiation, the galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar energetic particles (SEP). As the spacecraft orbited the red planet, the spectrometer swept through the sky and measured the radiation field. In addition, Scientists are curious about the amount of radiation humans will be exposed to during a possible manned mission and MARIE will provide the data about radiation on the …show more content…
Those information allowing scientists have opportunity to observe the exist of life ever arose on the planet Mars, seasonal changes on Mars from year to year, geographical environment and in order to help the human exploration on the cosmons.
Goals of Mars Odyssey
The 2001 Goals of Mars Odyssey science investigations are designed to support the Mars Exploration Program’s overall science strategy. And there are four science goals that support this strategy which are including the determine whether life ever arose on Mars, characterize the climate and Geology of Mars, and prepare for human exploration. Goal 1:The exist of life on the Mars The instruments of this mission does not carry detecting life on the Mars, but the data has discovered will help people better understand the Mars, in order to find out that whether the life ever arose on the planets. A spacecraft was equipped to find evidence of near surface water and mapped mineral deposits from water activity during the
