Space Probe Cemetery | Exomars: The Hunt For Life

·Nov 11, 2024

The first successful Mars mission was in 1964. Along the way, Mars would become the space probe cemetery. Bogalusa, a lot of space probes have been lost along the way; some of them we lost track of upon their arrival. Others flew past the planet without stopping, and none of those probes proved useful.

The first flyby of the planet was achieved by the American spacecraft Mariner 4 on November 28th, 1964. The space probe was launched from Cape Canaveral in July. The following year, it successfully flew past Mars and took 21 pictures, but calling them pictures might be a stretch. Upon my image, the first image came out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's. The sequence of numbers formed under chief yes; it took a while for the scientists to convert those numbers into a picture.

Used to chakras open up, they took a big sheet of paper full of squares and started coloring in squares with a pencil in various shades of gray to recreate the image. So, the first picture we have of the planet is actually a handmade one. Almost four years prior to man's first steps on the moon, Mariner 4 was a significant victory after a string of unsuccessful attempts by both the Americans and Russians.

The pictures sent by Mariner 4 made Mars look like a barren, hostile planet covered in craters. Maloy, enough kepta Mariner 4 gave us a wrong impression of the planet because it showed numerous cratons. We figured it looked like the moon and much less alive than we thought it would be. Only during the following missions did probes in orbit send pictures of valleys and streams of some sort.

That's how we discovered how geologically rich this planet actually was. Nine more missions were launched by the Soviets and the Americans; most failed. But in 1971, the American spacecraft Mariner 9 became the first to orbit around another planet. It sent back views of the planet's dust storms, volcanoes, and polar caps.
