    its  Martian  data, including pictures and daily weather maps, available to 
    the  public  on  the  Internet.  It  has  created several home pages on the

    TEXT: 
  DL=, /LP, /TX  WASHINGTON  -  NASA  kicked off an intensive search for evidence of life on 
    other   worlds  yesterday  by  launching  the  first  of  13  Earth-to-Mars 
    spaceships scheduled over the next 10 years. 
       After  a  one-day  delay because of high winds, the Mars Global Surveyor 
    blasted  off  from Florida's Kennedy Space Center at 50 seconds after noon, 
    lugging six scientific instruments to explore the Martian environment. 
     
       "It's the beginning of a long sequence of missions ultimately whose goal 
    must  be  to determine whether or not life was ever on Mars or even perhaps 
    exists  now,"  said  Wesley  Huntress  Jr.,  chief of space science for the 
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration. 
     
  /TX      The  unmanned  missions  -  10 American, two Russian and one Japanese - 
    were  planned  long  before  the  tantalizing  discovery  that at least two 
    Martian meteorites contain what might be relics of once-living organisms. 
     
       A  team  of  American scientists announced in August that they had found 
    what looked like fossilized bacteria in a 4.5 billion-year-old Martian rock 
    picked  up  in  Antarctica.  Just  last  week,  British  scientists who had 
    examined  a second meteor from Mars said they found similar signs that life 
    may have existed 600,000 years ago. 
     
       The  fossil  reports  added  urgency  and  excitement to humanity's long 
    fascination with the Red Planet. 
       The  series of interplanetary voyages - spaced 26 months apart when Mars 
    is  in  the  best  position relative to Earth - is supposed to culminate in 
    2005  with  the  return  of  samples of Martian rocks and soil for detailed 
    study. 
     
                                     (...) 
       *  To  learn  why the Martian climate, once warm and wet, is now dry and 
    cold.  Understanding  what  sent Mars into a deep freeze could help explain 
    the risks facing Earth's climate. 
       *  To  study  whether  the  geology  and resources of Mars could support 
    future  human exploration. Space enthusiasts hope a manned expedition could 
    be  undertaken  by  2020,  but the Clinton administration has not committed 
    itself to such a costly venture. 
     
       "The  first  step  is  to  first  understand  what it is that Mars has," 
    Huntress  said. "Where is the water and what are other resources that might 
    exist on this planet?" 
     
    CAPTION: 
  /CP  A  Delta  II  rocket launched NASA's Mars Global Surveyor on its journey to 
    Mars.  The Surveyor, which should arrive in September, will spend two years 
    in orbit mapping the Red Planet's surface. 
    Associated Press 
    Lockheed  Martin  spacecraft technicians installed parts on the Mars Global 
    Surveyor  at  Kennedy Space Center in September. NASA launched the Surveyor 
    to Mars yesterday.
