Cool View of Odyssey Launch Waiting to Take Off.

Lockheed engineers (Ed Sedivy center, left photo) and others involved in the engineering of 2001 Odyssey Mars take a moment to pose
for photos before daylight and the launch of 2001 Odyssey on the day of big launch.

Now It's Daylight! And, the Launch Takes Off!

At launch time, others watch the start of the rocket launch from a bit further away.


Off to Mars!

In six or seven months, the world will be awaiting the outcome of this historic space mission.

After the successful launch, team members enjoyed just a bit of R&R and relaxation in Florida before heading back to Colorado.
