AU=	`By: Boston Globe`
ED=, /SH, SH=, PG=	`Edition: FINAL Section: FRONT Page: A3`
	`Word Count: 430`

	`TEXT:`
/LP, /TX	`At 11 minutes past noon this Wednesday, if all goes well, a Delta 2 rocket`
	`will blast off from Cape Canaveral, the first of a whole battery of`
	`exploratory missions to the bitterly cold, bone-dry and possibly`
	`life-bearing - planet Mars.`

	`Ten days later, a Russian spacecraft bound for the red planet will lift`
	`off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Two weeks after that, another`
	`U.S. rocket will take off, launching a craft designed to land on Mars and`
	`then send out a small robotic vehicle to prowl the nearby landscape.`

/TX	`After a hiatus of more than two decades, the exploration of our`
	`neighboring planet is about to resume in earnest: Over 10 years, the United`
	`States, Russia and Japan combined hope to dispatch no fewer than a dozen`
	`spacecraft to scour the Martian terrain and probe beneath its ruddy`
	`surface.`

	`"There are three primary goals for this wave of exploration," said`
	`Wesley Huntress, head of space science for the National Aeronautics and`
	`Space Administration. "First, the search for life, past or present. Second,`
	`a search for evidence of liquid water. And third, a search for resources`
	`that could be used to support a sustained human presence. The common thread`
	`is water."`

	`The first rocket will carry the Mars Global Surveyor, a probe that will`
	`swing into Martian orbit next August and begin mapping the surface in`
	`unprecedented detail - a job that will take two years.`

	`The Mars Pathfinder, programmed for a more direct route, will set out`
	`next month. It is scheduled to land July 4 and will dispatch a robotic`
	`vehicle, about the size of a carry-on suitcase, to explore the landing site`
	`area, near the outflow of an ancient river.Russia's first probe, Mars 96,`
	`is to be launched on Nov. 16 and should reach the planet next September.`

	`Interest in Mars has been brought to a boil by the announcement in`
	`August of the discovery of what may be the fossil remains of microbes in a`
	`Martian rock - making it the only other place in the universe that could`
	`support life as we know it, if even in the past. Scientists will want to`
	`know whether there are still places - small "oases" of liquid water - where`
	`life may be hanging on in a now-hostile environment.`

	`Arlen Ettinger, president of Guernsey's Auction House, poses in New`
	`York last month with three Martian meteorites to be sold at auction Nov.`
	`20. The privately held rocks are expected to go for hundreds of thousands`
	`amid a new interest in Mars.`
