Two thousand and one Mars Odyssey mission's name.
was a riff on the popular science fiction film, two thousand and one, A Space Odyssey.

Whatever the reason.
The spaceship had resounding success.
The Odyssey.
became the longest continually active mission orbiting another planet.
It's still returning data to this day.
Providing information about Martian clouds and
Fog.
And frost.
It's also mapped the location of rocks on the planet's surface.
Which is crucial for plotting future landings in places where they won't encounter major obstacles.
In March of 2024, the Mars Odyssey, still circling the planet after close to a quarter century, captured a striking image of the tallest volcano in our solar system.
Called Olympus Mons, the Martian volcano is 17 miles tall.
Vastly more than Mount Everest's roughly five and a half mile height.
and its base stretches across a whopping three hundred and seventy-three miles.
In the image, the volcano shows up as an immense dark patch.
Looming up from the lighter coloured planes of the dry planet.
