A multi-band camera aboard the the NASA Mars Odyssey orbiter recently turned 10 in Martian orbit. The instrument began scientific operations around the Red Planet on February 19, 2002, and has been producing invaluable science ever since. The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) can snap photos in both visible ... |
