  /TI  Missions to Mars / 1st of 3 launches to study the 'red planet' 
  JN=, JC=, PD=, PY=  Newsday (ND) - Tuesday November 5, 1996

  /ME  MEMO: PD: 
     
    TEXT: 
  /LP, /TX  A  brand  new round in humanity's effort to understand Mars begins tomorrow 
    as  a  big  Delta  II rocket boosts the United States' Mars Global Surveyor 
    spacecraft toward the distant red planet. 
     
        Blast-off  is  scheduled  for  12:11  p.m.,  according  to the National 
    Aeronautics and Space Administration. 
     
  /TX      It  is  the first of three large, complex satellites planned for launch 
    toward Mars this month and next. On Nov. 16, Russians expect to blast their 
    Mars  '96 mission into space, followed on Dec. 5 by the United States' Mars 
    Pathfinder mission. 
     
        All  three are taking advantage of the best "launch window," an optimum 
    time  when  Earth  and  Mars  move into favorable positions in their orbits 
    around  the  sun.  If the launch window is missed, 25 more months must pass 
    before the opportunity arises again. 
     
        None  of  the missions will be able to say much, if anything, about the 
    possibility of life on Mars. There are no instruments that can seek out and 
    analyze  microbes,  and there is no provision for sending rock samples back 
    to Earth. Sample return missions are being planned for the future, however, 
    perhaps as early as 2005. 
     
        Although  Mars  Global  Surveyor  will be the first of the three lofted 
    into  space,  because  their  flight paths differ, Mars Pathfinder will get 
    there  first,  settling  onto  Mars'  surface  on  July  4. The Mars Global 
    Surveyor is scheduled to go into orbit around the red planet in mid-summer. 
    And  the Russian mission - designed to drop four landing capsules - arrives 
    in September. 
     
       The goal of the Surveyor mission is to provide the best maps ever of the 
    whole  Martian  surface, imaging objects as small as 10 yards across. It is 
    also,  sort  of,  a replacement for the Mars Observer mission, which failed 
    and fell silent just as the unrecovered spacecraft was about to enter orbit 
    around Mars in August, 1993. 
     
        The  most  exciting mission begins on Independence Day, when Pathfinder 
    reaches  Mars'  surface  and  turns  loose  Sojourner, a small, six-wheeled 
    vehicle that will begin the first-ever mobile exploration of Mars.
