Odyssey at Mars

NASA APOD

COSMIC MESSAGE

After a 200-day journey, the Mars Odyssey spacecraft successfully entered orbit around Mars. Its mission involves aerobraking, a process of dipping into the Martian atmosphere to gradually reduce its speed and achieve its final operational orbit. This is a welcome success, as Mars has been a challenging planet for past missions.
