| TEXT: |
---|
| THE LAST TIME NASA sent a satellite to Mars it disappeared, giving |
---|
| conspiracy theorists fuel to insist extraterrestrials had destroyed the |
---|
| probe and the government was covering it up. Space agency scientists |
---|
| eventually conjectured that Mars Observer malfunctioned and exploded three |
---|
| days before it was to enter Mars orbit in August 1993. But that is just a |
---|
| theory. No one really knows what happened. Better luck is expected with |
---|
| Mars Global Surveyor, which begins a 10-month journey to the planet |
---|
| tomorrow. |
---|
| |
---|
| Global Surveyor will orbit Mars and begin sending photographs and other |
---|
| data back to Earth. It will join Mars Pathfinder, a faster probe which is |
---|
| scheduled to leave Earth on Dec. 2 and end its trek by actually landing on |
---|
| Mars in July. The robotic missions should provide information that can help |
---|
| determine whether life has ever existed on Mars. That possibility has |
---|
| become more plausible now that British scientists have joined Americans in |
---|
| concluding ancient meteorites from Mars do contain evidence of past |
---|
| microscopic life. |
---|
| |
---|
| The British assessment was important for more than scientific reasons. |
---|
| After American geologists said they had found traces of life-related |
---|
| chemical and mineral compounds in a Martian rock that dropped to Earth 16 |
---|
| million years ago, some skeptics speculated that NASA had manufactured the |
---|
| discovery to bolster its arguments against continued budget cuts for U.S. |
---|
| space exploration. But the British scientists independently came to similar |
---|
| conclusions based on their analysis of a Mars rock that fell to this planet |
---|
| only 600,000 years ago. |
---|
| |
---|
| How intriguing. Perhaps more than any other planet, Mars has been the |
---|
| subject of earthly musings about life on another world. Nineteenth century |
---|
| astronomers with their primitive telescopes saw what they mistook to be |
---|
| canals on the surface of the Red Planet. In 1965, Mariner IV became the |
---|
| first spacecraft to fly by Mars. The Soviets then landed a probe on the |
---|
| planet in 1971, but it malfunctioned after only 20 seconds. Five years |
---|
| later, the U.S. successfully landed Viking I and Viking II on Mars, but |
---|
| they have been silent since 1982. |
---|
| |
---|
| What scientists learn in the upcoming missions to Mars may determine the |
---|
| course of international space exploration and what should be NASA's purpose |
---|
| for decades to come. |
