Artwork of Mars Surveyor 2001 Orbiter above Mars
Mars Surveyor 2001 Orbiter. Artwork of the Mars Surveyor 2001 Orbiter in orbit around Mars. This probe is due for launch in March 2001. It is designed to study the mineralogy and rock composition of Mars. It will carry the Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS, upper left) on a long boom, and the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) attached to the main body. THEMIS will look for active or previously active areas on Mars, such as hydrothermal vents and dry lake beds. GRS will find the elemental composition of the Martian surface. This data will be used to plan later landings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the Mars Surveyor 2001 Orbiter gracefully hovering above the enigmatic red planet. With its launch scheduled for March 2001, this state-of-the-art probe is set to embark on a groundbreaking mission of unravelling Mars' mysteries. Its primary objective is to meticulously study the mineralogy and rock composition of this extraterrestrial world. The image highlights two crucial instruments that will aid in unraveling Mars' secrets: the Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) and Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS). The GRS, positioned on a long boom at the upper left corner, will analyze the elemental composition of Martian terrain with unparalleled precision. Meanwhile, THEMIS, attached to the main body of the orbiter, will diligently search for signs of activity in areas such as hydrothermal vents and dry lake beds. The invaluable data collected by these cutting-edge tools will play an instrumental role in planning future missions and potential landings on Mars. As humanity's insatiable curiosity propels us further into space exploration, this remarkable spacecraft symbolizes our relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's boundaries. With its sleek design and advanced capabilities, this artful representation encapsulates both scientific progress and mankind's unyielding spirit of discovery. It serves as a reminder that we are but humble travelers venturing into uncharted territories in our quest to understand more about our neighboring celestial bodies.
