In fact, it was Odyssey's early findings of evidence for water ice on Mars that led to the Phoenix mission in the first place. And when NASA's next rover, Curiosity, touches down on the planet in 2012, Odyssey will work alongside the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to beam science data and communications back to Earth. So even though its primary science objectives were completed by 2004, Odyssey has been an extremely valuable asset for other mars missions ever since.
