This slide presentation reviews the performance of the navigation of the Mars Odyssey and the status of the local mean solar time (LMST) analysis. Included is an overview of the navigation, charts showing the accuracy of the navigation long term predictions, charts showing the Global Track Walk (GTW) repeat cycle, and charts showing the local mean solar time trend.
This paper presents the orbit determination strategy employed by the Odyssey navigation team, as well as the major navigation challenges and accomplishments.
The Mars Odyssey orbiter was launched on April 7, 2001, and arrived at Mars on October 24, 2001. The orbiter carries scientific instruments that will determine surface elemental composition, mineralogy and morphology, and measure the Mars radiation environment from orbit. In addition, the orbiter will serve as a data relay for future surface missions. This paper will present an overview of the Odyssey project, including the key elements of the spacecraft design, mission design and navigation, mission operations, and the science approach. The project's risk management process will be described. Initial findings of the science team will be summarized.
