The Neutron Spectrometer (NS) is part of he Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer suite.
The chief scientific objectives of the HEND instrument is

CO2 abundances and their stratigraphic distributions, and
determine their seasonal variations, and to determine the depth of the seasonal polar caps and their
variation with time.
