- Name
- 2001 Mars Odyssey integrated propulsion installation
- Notes
- Odyssey's installed propulsion subsystem combines one approximately 640 N hydrazine/nitrogen-tetroxide main engine with four approximately 1 N attitude-control thrusters and four approximately 22 N turning thrusters, with gaseous-helium pressurization. The relationship records one whole-subsystem installation; the component counts and functions remain in the propulsion identity and notes.
