NASA to measure Mars temperatures with two Mariner 6 probes
NASA plans two Mariner 6 flyby passes by Mars on July 31 and August 5 at about 2,000 miles altitude to use infrared radiometers and TV cameras to map surface temperatures from pole to equator, day and night, with readings expected to range 270 degrees below zero to 80 above but not above freezing. The mission aims to answer Mars temperature questions while providing live Earth transmissions and care for the common cold joke.
