Artwork of the Mars Climate Orbiter orbiting Mars
Mars Climate Orbiter. Artwork of the Mars Climate Orbiter over Mars. The Mars Climate Orbiter is due for a launch in December 1998. This lightweight spacecraft is designed to study the history of climate change on Mars. It will occupy a 400 kilometre altitude, nearly circular polar orbit, from which it will study Mars for a full Martian year (687 Earth days). As well as studying the planet, it will provide relay support for the Mars Polar Lander mission, to be launched about a month after the Orbiter. After the end of the landers mission, the Orbiter will provide support for subsequent Martian landers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork of the Mars Climate Orbiter gracefully orbiting its destination, the red planet itself. Scheduled for launch in December 1998, this lightweight spacecraft has been meticulously designed to unravel the mysteries surrounding climate change on Mars. Positioned at a 400-kilometer altitude in an almost perfectly circular polar orbit, it will diligently observe and study Mars for an entire Martian year spanning 687 Earth days. Beyond its scientific mission, the Mars Climate Orbiter will also serve as a vital communication link for another ambitious endeavor: the Mars Polar Lander mission set to embark just one month later. Once that mission concludes, this remarkable orbiter will continue providing invaluable support for future Martian landers yet to come. The intricate details captured in this artwork evoke a sense of wonder and anticipation about humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our home planet. It symbolizes our unyielding curiosity and determination to explore new frontiers while shedding light on distant worlds like never before. Displayed proudly by Science Photo Library, this image encapsulates both artistry and research—a testament to mankind's unwavering commitment to understanding our place in the vast expanse of space.
