/ME	`Ran all editions.`

	`TEXT:`
DL=, /LP, /TX	`CAPE CANAVERAL - Even though a segment of one of its solar-power panels`
	`remained tilted at an odd angle, the Mars Global Surveyor cruised smoothly`
	`through space Friday, bound for Mars, with engineers expressing optimism`
	`that the craft would have no trouble conducting its full mapping mission.`

	`They reported that the 1-ton unmanned spacecraft appeared to be in good`
	`health and on course for the 10-month journey. It is supposed to swing into`
	`an orbit of Mars in September and begin a two-year survey of the planet,`
	`concentrating on geology, weather and possible havens of life, now or in`
	`the past.`
/TX	`Officials at the Kennedy Space Center said preparations for the next`
	`mission to Mars were on schedule. The next spacecraft, Mars Pathfinder, is`
	`to be moved to its launching pad on Nov. 21, with liftoff set for Dec. 2.`
	`The craft is designed to land on the planet and deploy a 22-pound roving`
	`vehicle for studying rocks and soil.`

	`The two missions are the opening shots in a planned 10-year effort to`
	`explore Mars and particularly to look for evidence that the planet might`
	`have once supported some form of microbial life, as recent studies of`
	`meteorites from Mars have indicated.`

	`Early engineering data showed only one anomaly on the global surveyor,`
	`launched Thursday. The craft's two wing-like solar panels had fully`
	`deployed, but a section of one of them close to the body of the spacecraft`
	`was tilted 20 degrees off its preferred angle.`

	`Glenn Cunningham, the project manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory`
	`in Pasadena, Calif., said the original supposition was that the hinges were`
	`cold from being stowed during the craft's ascent and early flight and so`
	`did not move properly into place.`

	`That hypothesis, Cunningham said Friday, "is fading with time and so we`
	`continue to look for the real source of the problem."`

	`But he emphasized that engineers were "not overly concerned about this"`
	`because the solar panels were generating electricity at the required rate.`
	`If the problem continued, they could command a motor to drive the panel to`
	`its proper position.`

	`Looking ahead, scientists were wondering what the weather would be like`
	`on Mars when the spacecraft arrives. Recent photographs by the Hubble Space`
	`Telescope showed a large dust storm gathering force near the edge of the`
	`planet's north polar ice cap. Drastic changes in temperature often churn up`
	`dust storms that sometimes envelop the entire planet for weeks.`
