/TI	`NASA LAUNCH STARTS HUNT FOR LIFE ON MARS : NASA BEGINS 10 YEARS OF STUDY ON`
	`RED PLANET`
JN=, JC=, PD=, PY=	`Daily News of Los Angeles (LA) - Friday, November 8, 1996`
AU=	`By: Eric Wahlgren Daily News Staff Writer`
ED=, /SH, SH=, PG=	`Edition: Valley Section: News Page: N1`
	`Word Count: 777`

	`TEXT:`
/LP, /TX	`Emboldened by the possibility that life might have existed on Mars,`
	`earthbound explorers began a 10-year probe of the Red Planet on Thursday`
	`with the launch of an unmanned spacecraft.`

	`Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars Global Surveyor blasted off just after`
	`9 a.m. Pacific Standard Time from Cape Canaveral, Fla.`

/TX	`JPL scientists and their families, who gathered at the Pasadena complex`
	`to watch the event on closed-circuit television, clapped and cheered when`
	`the Delta II rocket carrying the $155 million spacecraft left the launch`
	`pad.`
	`The probe's picture-perfect departure came a day after poor weather`
	`forced the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to scrub`
	`Wednesday's planned launch and three years after NASA's JPL lost contact`
	`with the Mars Observer, which like the Global Observer would have explored`
	`Mars from space.`

	`After the spacecraft completes its 10-month, 470-million-mile journey to`
	`Mars, it will begin beaming back data on the planet's climate and landscape`
	`including information about where, if anywhere, water can be found.`

	``Life as we know it requires water,'' said Cheick Diarra, manager of
	the JPL's Mars Exploration Program Education and Public Outreach. ``We have
	`to identify where the water might be to be able to determine if life has`
	`ever existed on Mars and if it still exists.''`

	`The debate over whether life existed on the cold planet grew feverish`
	`when NASA researchers announced in August that a Martian meteorite`
	`discovered in Antarctica contained chemicals consistent with the one-time`
	`existence of primitive life. Other scientists have disputed the findings.`

	`Although JPL scientists said they hope someday to be able to get to the`
	`bottom of the issue, they added that NASA's 10-year Mars Surveyor Program`
	`also will help them learn more about their home planet, which is roughly`
	`the same age as Mars.`

	``The data will allow us to understand the evolution of Mars so that we
	`can better understand the evolution of Earth,'' said S. Sam Dallas, manager`
	`of the Mars Global Surveyor Program Mission System.`
