Today, we have a thrilling update about NASA's longest-lived Mars robot, the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter, which is about to celebrate an incredible milestone. On June 30, this remarkable spacecraft will complete 100,000 trips around the Red Planet since its launch 23 years ago. Throughout its mission, Odyssey has been mapping minerals and ice across Mars, identifying landing sites for future missions, and relaying crucial data to Earth from NASA's rovers and landers.
