(03/27/2001) --- The 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft, wrapped in protective covering, leaves the Space Assembly and Encapsulation Facility 2 on a transporter to Launch Pad 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Mars Odyssey is scheduled for launch at 11:02 a.m. EDT April 7, 2001, aboard a Delta II rocket from Launch Pad 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
