2001 Mars Odyssey is a robotic spacecraft orbiting the planet Mars. The project was developed by NASA and contracted out to Lockheed Martin with an expected cost for the entire mission of US$297 million. Its mission is to use spectrometers and electronic imagers to detect evidence of past or present water and volcanic activity on Mars. It is hoped that the data Odyssey obtains will help answer the question of whether life has ever existed on Mars.
