This
product
includes
five
classroom
activities
related
to
the
discovery
of
water
ice
on
Mars.
In
2001,
the
Mars
Odyssey
spacecraft
discovered
significant
amounts
of
water
ice
buried
in
the
high
latitude
regions
of
Mars.
This
discovery,
based
upon
data
from
the
Mars
Gamma
Ray
Spectrometer,
helped
motivate
the
development
of
the
Mars
Phoenix
Lander
mission,
which
arrived
in
the
Martian
arctic
in
2008
