  /TI  CRAFT FROM JEFFCO WILL VISIT MARS SURVEYOR READY TO CROSS 435 MILLION MILES 
    OF SPACE 
  JN=, JC=, PD=, PY=  Rocky Mountain News (RM) - Wednesday, November 6, 1996 
  AU=  By: Rebecca Cantwell  Rocky Mountain News Staff Writer 
  ED=, /SH, SH=, PG=  Edition: Final  Section: Business  Page: 6B

    TEXT: 
  DL=, /LP, /TX  DEER  CREEK  CANYON  -  A spacecraft built in Jefferson County is slated to 
    blast from its launch pad this morning on a 435-million-mile journey toward 
    Mars. 
     
       All  systems are go for the Mars Global Surveyor to hurtle on its voyage 
    to  craft  a  portrait  of the red planet, mission officials said from Cape 
    Canaveral, Fla. 
     
  /TX     Lockheed Martin Astronautics built the spacecraft in Waterton Canyon and 
    will  command  its  mission for the next four years from its plant south of 
    Denver. 
       The  satellite  awaits  launch  atop a Delta II rocket made by McDonnell 
    Douglas  in  Pueblo. The craft is scheduled to escape the rocket 50 minutes 
    into  the flight at 24,000 mph, with Lockheed Martin making contact about 1 
    1/2 hours after launch. 
     
       The surveyor will travel more than halfway around the sun to reach Mars. 
    Then  its  solar  wings  will start ``aerobraking'' to lower it into a Mars 
    polar orbit to begin its scientific work in early 1998. 
     
       The  spacecraft  is  the  first in a series of smaller, cheaper missions 
    designed  to  lead  to  the  return  of samples from Mars early in the next 
    millennium. 
     
       The  Global  Surveyor  and  its  mission  control  for 30 days cost $150 
    million. 
     
       The  missions,  which  mark  the  return  to  Earth's  closest planetary 
    neighbor  after  a two-decade hiatus, should help scientists learn if there 
    is (or was) life on Mars. 
     
       ``It's the beginning of a long sequence of missions to determine if life 
    ever  existed  on  Mars  or  may  exist  now,''  said  NASA official Wesley 
    Huntress. 
     
       The  spacecraft  is  carrying  six  major  scientific instruments. It is 
    designed  to  map 99% of the planet and provide other information about the 
    Martian surface. 
     
       Many  of the electronics are spare parts left over from the last, failed 
    mission  to Mars. The Mars Observer disappeared shortly after reaching Mars 
    in 1993. 
     
       But officials downplayed fears based on that failure. ``We're in a brand 
    new era,'' said mission director Glenn Cunningham. 
     
       NASA  officials spoke at a pre-launch press conference hooked up through 
    video  feed from Kennedy Space Center to Lockheed Martin Astronautics' Deer 
    Creek Canyon headquarters. 
     
       If  the  launch is postponed today , officials have until Nov. 25 to try 
    again, while the planets are properly aligned.
