English: This archival image is an enhanced contrast version of the first Mars photograph released on July 15, 1965. This is man's first close-up photograph of another planet -- a photographic representation of digital data radioed from Mars by the Mariner 4 spacecraft. Data was either sent to Earth immediately for acquisition or stored on an onboard tape recorder for later transmission.
Mariner, launched on November 28, 1964, photographed Mars beginning at 5:18:33 P.M. PDT, July 14, 1965, at a distance of about 10,500 miles. Closest approach of about 9,846 kilometers (6,118 miles) from the planet occurred at 6:01 P.M. The spacecraft carried a television camera and six other science instruments to study the Martian atmosphere and surface. The 22 photographs taken by Mariner revealed the existence of lunar type craters upon a desert-like surface. After completing its mission, Mariner 4 continued past Mars to the far side of the Sun. On December 20, 1967, all operations of the spacecraft were ended. For more information about this story see http://directedplay.com/first_tv_image_of_mars.html. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, managed the Mariner 4 mission for NASA, Washington, D.C.Ελληνικά: Αυτή η φωτογραφία είναι η πρώτη κοντινή ματιά της ανθρωπότητας σε έναν άλλο πλανήτη. Πρόκειται για την πρώτη φωτογραφία του πλανήτη Άρη, όπως τον φωτογράφησε η διαστημοσυσκευή Μάρινερ 4 στις 14 Ιουλίου 1965. Ο Μάρινερ 4 πέρασε δίπλα από τον πλανήτη σε απόσταση 9.846 χιλιομέτρων και τράβηξε 22 φωτογραφίες, οι οποίες είναι ιστορικές και για άλλον έναν λόγο: έδωσαν ισχυρές ενδείξεις ότι ο Άρης ήταν ένας έρημος, νεκρός πλανήτης και απάντησαν έτσι αρνητικά στο ερώτημα αν υπάρχει ζωή σε αυτόν. |
