00:06itself has become one of the densest man-made areas in the solar system. Eight active spacecraft
00:12are currently orbiting the red planet. Eight. These are helping us map the Martian surface better
00:21than our own ocean floor. Let's start with the oldest one, Mars Odyssey, launched in 2001 by
00:29NASA, has been in orbit around Mars since October 2002. That makes it the oldest continuously
00:36operating probe at another planet ever. It maps Mars in the infrared spectrum while also serving
00:44as a communication relay between the rovers on the surface and Earth. When Perseverance sends an
00:50image to Earth, it doesn't go directly. It usually goes via Odyssey or the next one on the list.
00:59It happens there, the last one on the planet but it happends the今天 that he will
