In the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility 2 (SAEF-2), workers at right attach reflective panels to the Mars Odyssey solar arrays during illumination testing. The Mars Orbiter is at left on a workstand. The orbiter will carry three science instruments: THEMIS, the Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS), and the Mars Radiation Environment Experiment (MARIE). THEMIS will map the mineralogy and morphology of the Martian surface using a high-resolution camera and a thermal infrared imaging spectrometer. The GRS will achieve global mapping of the elemental composition of the surface and determine the abundance of hydrogen in the shallow subsurface. The MARIE will characterize aspects of the near-space radiation environment with regards to the radiation-related risk to human explorers.
