Mars Mission News (JPL)
Launched in 1996:
- Mars Global Surveyor Mars orbiter, launched from KSC, Cape Canaveral on November 7, 1996, 9 a.m. EST. Reached Mars and successfully entered Mars orbit on September 11, 1997; uses aerobraking for achieving the low Mars orbit required for the intended orbital investigations of the Red Planet, to begin in early 1998. Its mission is to survey Mars from orbit, with instruments constructed for the lost Mars Observer. Moreover, it should serve as relay for the lander missions Mars Pathfinder, and was intended to supplement unlucky Mars 96.

- Mars Pathfinder (MPF), the new Mars Lander, previously named "MESUR" or "Pathfinder", was launched by a Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral on December 4, 1996, 1:58 a.m. EST. The lander carried a small Mars rover, called Sojourner (previously Rocky IV, also MFEX rover). On July 4, 1997, Mars Pathfinder successfully softlanded on Mars in a direct approach in a region named Ares Valley, at 19.5 d N, 32.8 d W, and started in-situ research. After landing, the MPF lander was renamed Carl Sagan Memorial Station. Sojourner was released to the Martian surface on July 6, and started investigating the Martian rocks and soil around the landing site. Mars Pathfinder and Sojourner performed an extraordinary successful mission until the end of September 1997. The last regular data transmission occurred on September 27, and a last signal was received on October 7, 1997, then contact was lost, perhaps because of battery failure partially due to falling temperatures at the landing site.

- Russia's longly delayed Mars 96 (previously Mars 94) was launched on November 16, 1996, but failed to leave Earth's orbit, and decayed shortly after liftoff. It consisted of an orbiter to survey Mars from orbit, two landers and two penetrators, and carried instruments from 22 countries. CNN story; Mars 96 page in Calvin Hamilton's solar system tour (HAS)
Launched 1998-99:
- Rescheduled ! Deep Space 1 (Nasa). Technology validation mission. Launched October 24, 1998. Mission was redefined and did no more include a Mars encounter, aiming now to asteroid 1992 KD to be passed by on July 29, 1999, and later perhaps a comet. When scheduled for launch in July 1998, it was to fly by asteroid McAuliffe and Comet West-Kohoutek-Ikemura, and also flyby Mars on April 18, 2000, mainly for gravity assist, and use this opportunity to photograph and study the planet and perhaps one of its moons.

- Japan's Planet B Mars orbiter is to be launched August 1998. It is to study Mars' upper atmosphere. Planet-B image [158k gif]; Planet B Mars orbiter homepage
- Mars Climate Orbiter, previously named Mars Surveyor 1998 Orbiter or Mars Volatiles and Climate Surveyor (MVACS), was successfully launched on December 11, 1998 by a Delta II 7425 launch vehicle, and is to be inserted into Mars orbit on September 23, 1999, and to use aerobraking for lowering its initial 160 x 39,000 km orbit to 90 x 405 km on November 22, 1999, which should then be changed to an almost circular 405-km Polar orbit. Its mission is to continue the orbital survey of Mars, with emphasize on Martian weather and climate (wind, water vapor, volatiles, carbon dioxide budget, clouds etc), and to serve as relay for the Mars Polar Lander. It will carry a Russian instrument (IR sensor). First in the US-Russian Mars Together cooperative program. Mars Climate Orbiter image [5k jpg]

- Mars Polar Lander, also Mars Surveyor 1998 Lander, was successfully launched on January 3, 1999 by a Delta II 7425. This craft should land near the South polar region of Mars, in the layered terrain between 74 and 78 degrees southern areographic latitude and between 200 and 230 degrees western areographic longitude, on December 3, 1999, in direct approach. Instrumentation: A stereo camera, two small soil penetrators, and a Russian laser-ranging instrument (no rover, in case you wonder). The penetrators are to be released prior to landing, fall through the Martian atmosphere, and should penetrate the Martian surface (also in the South polar region) to provide data from subsurface (see below). The lander itself, like the Climate Orbiter, should study Martian weather and climate effects, as well as perform soil investigations. Mars Polar Lander image [25k jpg]

  Mars Surveyor Lander 1998 is intended to carry two small penetrators, which are to impact to a depth of about 2 meters into the Martian soil, and acquire data from that depth. These are the Deep Space-2 part of the New Millennium Project. See also :

To be launched 2001:
- Russia's Mars 2001. Its mission, not fully defined, will include a rover and/or surface stations. Possible international participation. May be part of US-Russian Mars Together program. It is currently extremely doubtful if this mission will actually take place.
- Mars Surveyor 2001 orbiter is scheduled to be launched between March 7 and March 27, 2001, and to enter Mars orbit between December 10 and 23, 2001. It is to use and test aerocapture (down to 46 km above Martian surface !) techniques for achieving its circular 400 km Polar orbit after periapsis lifts. If this goes well, it will conduct science from orbit, including mineralogical mapping and radiation measurements, with its main instruments GRS from Mars Observer and THEMIS which is developed under the direction of ASU. The spacecraft is also to serve as communications relay for Mars Surveyor 2001 and possibly 2003 landers. May be part of Mars Together program.

- Mars Surveyor 2001 lander. To be launched between April 5 and 25, 2001, and scheduled to land on Mars in direct approach between January 16 and February 5, 2002. The lander will carry various instruments and experiments, including engeneering experiments to explore possible in-situ resources and utilization technologies. Communication via Mars Surveyor 2001 and possibly 1998 Orbiters. The Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander also was to carry a rover named "Athena" capable to travel tens of miles, which may now be cancelled for administrative budgetary reasons.
