About this work
At pad 17A at Cape Canaveral Air Station, the second stage of a Delta II rocket is lowered into the first stage. The rocket is scheduled to be launched on Dec. 10, 1998, heading for Mars and carrying the Mars Climate Orbiter. The orbiter's instruments will monitor the Martian atmosphere and image the planet's surface on a daily basis for 657 days. It will observe the appearance and movement of atmospheric dust and water vapor, as well as characterize seasonal changes on the surface.
