The team discovered the unexpected amount of hydrogen around the equator by reducing the blur or noise in Odyssey's data, using image reproduction techniques used on another spacecraft and in medicine. Methods to improve the resolution of images in space to 290km.

The existence of water on Mars means manned missions in the future will not need to carry water to drink, cool equipment or water plants, reducing the amount of resources needed to transport.
