Mars, the most habitable of our sister planets, holds a special
place in our imaginations and in our space exploration program.
Fully half of NASA's planetary exploration effort is now devoted to
Mars. Key questions include: Has Mars ever harbored life? Is there
life on Mars now? Will humans be able to survive on the Martian
surface? Answers to these questions lie in determining the present
location of water on Mars and its likely inventory in the past, and
in determining the present radiation environment of Mars. The 2001
Mars Odyssey Mission contributes greatly these answers by detecting
near-surface water through measurements of neutron flux, from the
detection of carbonates, and the quantification of its radiation
environment. This book captures the objectives, the design of the
mission and the details of the instruments carried to Mars. It
should be of interest to every scientist interested in
participating in the on-going exploration of Mars from graduate
students to senior scientists as it provides the background
information essential to interpret the many exciting results now
appearing from the mission.
