Summary
A close-up of the Mars Polar Lander in SAEF-2
| Description | In the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility-2 (SAEF-2), the camera takes a close look at the Mars Polar Lander. The solar-powered spacecraft is targeted for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Station aboard a Delta II rocket on Jan. 3, 1999. It is designed to touch down on the Martian surface near the northern-most boundary of the south pole in order to study the water cycle there. The lander also will help scientists learn more about climate change and current resources on Mars, studying such things as frost, dust, water vapor and condensates in the Martian atmosphere. |
