Mariner 7NSSDCA/COSPAR ID: 1969-030ADescriptionMariner 6 and 7 comprised a dual-spacecraft mission to Mars, the sixth and seventh missions in the Mariner series of spacecraft used for planetary exploration in the flyby mode. The primary objectives of the missions were to study the surface and atmosphere of Mars during close flybys to establish the basis for future investigations, particularly those relevant to the search for extraterrestrial life, and to demonstrate and develop technologies required for future Mars missions and other long-duration missions far from the Sun. Mariner 6 also had the objective of providing experience and data which would be useful in programming the Mariner 7 encounter 5 days later. Each spacecraft carried a wide- and narrow-angle television camera, an infrared spectroscope, an infrared radiometer, and an ultraviolet spectroscope. The spacecraft were oriented entirely to planetary data acquisition, and no data were obtained during the trip to Mars or beyond Mars.

Spacecraft and Subsystems

The Mariner 6 and 7 spacecraft were identical, consisting of an octagonal magnesium frame base, 138.4 cm diagonally and 45.7 cm deep. A conical superstructure mounted on top of the frame held the high-gain 1 meter diameter parabolic antenna and four solar panels, each measuring 215 x 90 cm, were affixed to the top corners of the frame. The tip-to-tip span of the deployed solar panels was 5.79 m. A low-gain omnidirectional antenna was mounted on a 2.23 m high mast next to the high-gain antenna. Underneath the octagonal frame was a two-axis scan platform which held scientific instruments. Overall science instrument mass was 57.6 kg. The total height of the spacecraft was 3.35 m.

The spacecraft was attitude stabilized in three axes (referenced to the sun and the star, Canopus) through the use of 3 gyros, 2 sets of 6 nitrogen jets mounted on the ends of the solar panels, a Canopus tracker, and two primary and four secondary sun sensors. Propulsion was provided by a 223 N rocket motor mounted within the frame which used monopropellant hydrazine.

5. Exploring new worlds Scientists use pi to search for exoplanets, which are planets that orbit stars other than our own Sun. Powerful ground- and space-based telescopes track how much light is emitted by distant stars. When a planet passes in front of its star, the telescope sees a dip in the amount of light emitted. Knowing the percentage of this decrease and the formula for the area of a circle, scientists can deduce the planet’s size.› Use pi like a NASA scientist to solve this puzzler!› Learn more about the image

6. Discovering potentially habitable worlds When scientists discover new exoplanets, one of the things they want to know is whether these worlds could support life as we know it. These “potentially habitable” worlds orbit within what’s known as the habitable zone of their parent stars – a location that’s a safe distance from the star, not too close, where water would turn to gas, and not too far, where it would become ice. Scientists use pi to locate the inner and outer edges of the habitable zone around a given star. And they use pi, along with Kepler’s third law, to calculate how long it takes the exoplanet to make one full orbit of its star, which reveals the planet’s location and whether it’s in the habitable zone. › Use pi like a NASA scientist to solve this puzzler!

7. Locating quakes on Mars Scientists use pi to study earthquakes and, soon, marsquakes! NASA’s InSight Mars lander is equipped with an instrument for measuring seismic activity on the Red Planet, which will tell us more about what’s going on inside the planet. During a marsquake, surface waves – a type of seismic wave – travel outward from the epicenter in all directions on Mars. By timing the arrival of these surface waves at the InSight lander and using pi, scientists can determine what time the marsquake occurred.› Use pi like a NASA scientist to solve this puzzler!

 Are there protected bike lanes on the on-road trail sections?

 On the online EST map, on-road route sections are depicted in yellow. Formal protected/marked bicycle lanes exist in very few locations. On-road sections are intended for experienced bicyclists comfortable riding on road shoulders, adjacent to motor vehicles. On-road sections range from paved road shoulders on high-traffic state roadways, to rural roads with low traffic and no pavement striping.

 Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on ISS (SAGE III-ISS) 
 

Click image for alternate view

Status:
 Current, Prime Mission Mission Category: 
 Earth Systematic Missions Program Launch Date: February 19, 2017
Launch Location: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station

The SAGE III instrument is used to study ozone, a gas found in the upper atmosphere that acts as Earth’s sunscreen. More than 25 years ago, scientists realized there was a problem with Earth’s thin, protective coat of ozone...it was thinning. The SAGE family of instruments was pivotal in making accurate measurements of the amount of ozone loss in Earth's atmosphere. SAGE has also played a key role in measuring the onset of ozone recovery resulting from the internationally mandated policy changes that regulated chlorine-containing chemicals, the Montreal Protocol, which was passed in 1987.
Today, the SAGE technique is still the best for the job, and NASA scientists are preparing to send the third generation of the instrument into space. However, not just any spacecraft will do for SAGE III. Scientists have been keeping it safe, waiting for the day that it could go where no continuous Earth-observing instrument has gone before – the International Space Station (ISS).
Instead of flying on an un-manned satellite, SAGE III will be mounted to the ISS where it will operate alongside experiments from all over the world in the space-based laboratory. The orbital path of ISS will help maximize the scientific value of SAGE-III observations while proving that atmospheric science instruments do have a place on the space station.

8. Talking to spacecraft Sending messages to distant spacecraft and receiving them requires a network of massive antennas stationed around the globe so that, as the world turns, we never lose contact. Together, these antennas make up NASA’s Deep Space Network, or DSN. The engineers who communicate with spacecraft through the DSN use pi in the math equations needed to send messages and process those that are sent back. It’s a pretty important task considering the messages are used to do things like land rovers on Mars and get images from a spacecraft flying closely by Pluto for the first time.› Use pi like a NASA engineer to solve this puzzler!› Learn more about the image

9. Driving Mars rovers There are no joysticks or steering wheels on Mars rovers. Instead, rovers receive commands from operators on Earth that tell them when and how to drive, take pictures, turn their wheels and use their robotic arms. Some of these functions are measured in degrees and others in radians (slices of a circle), so pi is regularly used to convert between the two.

10. Getting spacecraft into orbit Engineers use pi to put spacecraft into orbit around other planets. To do this, they have to slow down the spacecraft just enough and at exactly the right time for it to get pulled into orbit by the planet’s gravity. Engineers determine how much that gravity will tug on the spacecraft, how fast the spacecraft is going and the details of the new orbit. Using those numbers, along with pi, they can compute exactly how much they need to put on the brakes – which for a spacecraft, means firing its forward-facing thrusters at just the right moment.

ASTER

Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer

This perspective image of a complex volcanic landscape in the Andean mountain range was assembled from data acquired by ASTER on April 9, 2003. ASTER produces images using infrared, red, and green wavelengths of light. Vegetated areas range in color from red to pink, snow is white, water is black, and bare rock is earth-toned.
The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer obtains high-resolution (15 to 90 square meters per pixel) images of the Earth in 14 different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from visible to thermal infrared light. Scientists use ASTER data to create detailed maps of land surface temperature, emissivity, reflectance, and elevation.
ASTER is the only high spatial resolution instrument on the Terra platform. ASTER’s ability to serve as a ‘zoom’ lens for the other Terra instruments is particularly important for change detection, calibration/validation and land surface studies. Unlike the other instruments aboard Terra, ASTER will not collect data continuously; rather, it collects an average of 8 minutes of data per orbit. All three ASTER telescopes (VNIR, SWIR, and TIR) are pointable in the crosstrack direction. Given its high resolution and its ability to change viewing angles, ASTER produces stereoscopic images and detailed terrain height models.
The ASTER instrument was built in Japan for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). A joint United States/Japan Science Team is responsible for instrument design, calibration, and data validation.
Mr. Robert Wolfe | Terra
Robert’s current areas of interest are focused on accurate satellite geolocation and developing data systems and algorithms for retrieving terrestrial geophysical parameters. In 2004 he also became a NASA Science Team member for the joint NASA-NOAA-DOD mission (NPP/NPOESS) VIIRS instruments that are MODIS’s follow-on operational instrument series. In 2006 he took on the role of Terra Deputy Project Scientist for Data and then joined the MODIS science team in 2007. Wolfe has over 50 publications (book chapters and scientific, technical, and symposia papers) and is a member of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society and the American Geophysical Union.
