Summary
| Description |
English: A "real-time data translator" machine converted a Mariner 4 digital image data into numbers printed on strips of paper. Too anxious to wait for the official processed image, employees from the Voyager Telecommunications Section at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, attached these strips side by side to a display panel and hand coloured the numbers like a paint-by-numbers picture. The completed image was framed and presented to JPL director, William H. Pickering.The 22 photographs taken by Mariner revealed the existence of lunar type craters upon a desert-like surface.
