3) Odyssey Configuration:
Description:
The Odyssey orbiter is composed mostly of aluminum and titanium, similar to materials used in the construction of high-performance airplanes. Most systems on the spacecraft are duplicated so that the spacecraft has many onboard backup systems to rely on. The solar array powers the spacecraft, as well as stores energy in the battery for use when the spacecraft is behind Mars and sunlight is blocked. Odyssey has three science instruments that will study the Martian environment: the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), the Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS), and the Martian Radiation Environment Experiment (MARIE).
