Title : Crowds watch the perfect launch of the Boeing Delta II rocket carrying the 2001
Caption :
(04/07/2001) --- Crowds watch the perfect launch of the Boeing Delta II rocket carrying the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft into space on its 7-month journey to Mars. Liftoff was at 11:02 a.m. EDT. The spacecraft, built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will orbit Mars, mapping the surface looking for geological features that could indicate the presence of water, now or in the past. Science gathered by three science instruments on board will be key to future missions to Mars, including orbital reconnaissance, lander and human missions
