The Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) Data Interface is a web-based data selection and retrieval tool for the GRS Data Node. It is designed for scientists and the public who wish to access data from the Gamma Ray Spectrometer instrument suite on board the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission. Data may be queried and compiled by data type, time, and spatial coordinates (coming soon). For a step-by-step guide on how to use this tool, please follow the How To Use link at the left.

The Mars Odyssey Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) is a set of three scientific instruments that work together and complement each other: the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer and Gamma Subsystem (GS), the Neutron Spectrometer (NS), and the High-Energy Neutron Detector (HEND).
