19) Communications Relay for Mars Landers and Rovers:
2001 Mars Odyssey is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program,
a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet in which
missions and their respective scientific discoveries and technological
capabilities are highly coordinated. To support other missions,
Odyssey's UHF antenna will be used for communications
between Odyssey and future Mars landers, such as two Mars
Exploration Rovers planned for launch in 2003With far greater
mobility than the 1997 Mars Pathfinder rover, these robotic
explorers will be able to trek up to 100 meters (about 110 yards)
across the surface each Martian day. |
