Mars
Odyssey
Getting to Mars is difficult enough -- staying there is even more challenging. Odyssey met up with Mars on October 24 02:26 UTC (October 23: 7:26 p.m. PDT/10:26 p.m.EDT). That's when the spacecraft executed an engine firing that slowed it down (relative to Mars) and allowed Odyssey to be captured into orbit around Mars. In this final episode, Odyssey team members explain their rigorous preparations for the event.
