Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A trail of smoke is all that identifies the Delta II rocket with its Mars Exploration Rover Spirit (MER-A) payload as it hurtles into space. Liftoff occurred on time at 1:58 p.m. EDT from Launch Complex 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Spirit is the first of two rovers being launched to Mars. When the two rovers arrive at the red planet in 2004, they will bounce to airbag-cushioned landings at sites offering a balance of favorable conditions for safe landings and interesting science. The rovers see sharper images, can explore farther and examine rocks better than anything that has ever landed on Mars. The designated site for the Spirit mission is Gusev Crater, which appears to have been a crater lake. The second rover, Opportunity, is scheduled to launch June 25.
