NASA’s 2001 Mars Odysseyspacecraft provided this view of the south poleof Mars in inter-mediate energy,or epithermalneutrons. Soilenriched inhydrogen isindicated bythe deep blue colors on themap, where alow intensity ofepithermalneutrons is found. Thisview of the south pole of Mars comes from measurements made in the first week of Mars Odyssey’s mapping, in February 2002.

HEND NEUTRONS

Observations from NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey produced this high energy neutron detector map of martian neutrons in the southern hemisphere. The blue region around the south pole indicates a high content of hydrogen in the upper 2 to 3 meters (7 to 10 feet) of the surface.

The first images from NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey show mixed terrain in a daytime infrared image.
