NASA scientists are working hard to learn all about planet Mars. In 2001, they launched the spacecraft Odyssey. Odyssey is a science orbiter. It circles Mars and relays information back to scientists.
The orbiter also relays information from Spirit and Opportunity, the two rovers on Mars.
One day, humans will travel to Mars. First we must learn how to live on Mars.
NASA has some fun ways for you to learn about Mars. If you would like to play some online games, go to http://mars10.jpl.nasa.gov/funzone_flash.html
