Mars Life Question Hangs On New Mariner Flights
Pasadena scientists expect to receive the best data yet from Mariner 6 and 7 as they approach Mars. Mariner 6 will begin television imaging at 12:06 a.m. Tuesday from 771,500 miles out, with 33 high resolution photos to follow over 19 hours. The pair aim to reveal surface features and polar caps while testing for signs of primitive life, though experts say the odds are slim.
