Mariner 5 Aims to Probe Venus Cloud Veil From Cape Kennedy
America's Mariner 5 launched from Cape Kennedy at 2 01 am EDT racing toward Venus to study its clouds and atmospheric conditions for signs of habitability. The 540 pound craft carries instruments to measure atomic hydrogen and oxygen, temperature, pressure and density, with radar signals to penetrate clouds during a 26 minute approach. NASA officials predicted a precise flight path and noted the Soviet Venus 4 may reach Venus first. Venus 3 previously crashed on the planet in March 1966.
