    TEXT: 
  DL=, /LP, /TX  CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. - NASA's Mars Global Surveyor sped toward the Red 
    Planet on Thursday, the first spacecraft in a series of orbiters, rovers 
    and robots that could answer the question: Was there ever life on Mars? 
     
     A Delta rocket carrying the unmanned Global Surveyor lifted off on time at 
    noon one day after high wind scuttled the first launch attempt and 
    propelled the boxy, 10-foot spacecraft toward Mars at 24,000 mph. 
     
        "We're on our way!" NASA space science chief Wesley Huntress Jr. said. 
    "These are the kind of days you kind of live for in space science and space 
    exploration." 
       The spacecraft will reach Mars after a journey of 10 months and 435 
    million miles. 
     
       Once in the desired 235-mile-high orbit, in March 1998, the Global 
    Surveyor will begin mapping the Martian atmosphere and virtually the entire 
    surface of the planet. The survey will last 687 days, or a full Martian 
    year. 
     
       It will send images and other data back to Earth within 20 to 40 
    minutes. The images will be posted on the Internet for public viewing 
    within a day or two after that. 
     
       One of the main objectives of the $230 million mission is to scout for 
    landing spots for future landing missions, including one in which a 
    spacecraft will bring Martian soil and rocks back to Earth sometime in the 
    next decade. 
     
       NASA plans to send a pair of spacecraft to Mars every 26 months through 
    2005. The second in this series of 10, the Mars Pathfinder, is due to lift 
    off Dec. 2 and land on July 4, 1997. 
     
       Neither of NASA's 1976 Viking landers found any conclusive sign of life 
    on Mars, and Huntress expects it will take hard evidence -- like returned 
    samples -- to "put the nail on that." 
     
       If evidence of life is found, that eventually could lead to manned 
    flights to Mars, Huntress said.
