Artwork of Mars Polar Lander arriving at Mars
Mars Polar Lander. Artwork of the Mars Polar Lander splitting up on arrival at Mars. The Mars Polar Lander (centre) is due for launch in January 1999. The solar panels (upper right) which powered the craft are discarded at this stage. This lightweight spacecraft is designed to study the soil and weather on Mars. It has several imaging systems, and a robot arm will be used to collect soil samples for on-board analysis. Also on this mission are two New Millennium Project Microprobes (upper left and lower right). These will hit the surface, burying small probes in the Martian soil. They will look for water in the deeper layers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork of the Mars Polar Lander's arrival at the enigmatic red planet. The image depicts the Mars Polar Lander gracefully splitting up upon its arrival, capturing a pivotal moment in space exploration history. Scheduled for launch in January 1999, this lightweight spacecraft is specifically designed to delve into the mysteries of Martian soil and weather patterns. The discarded solar panels can be seen on the upper right corner, which had powered the craft until this stage. Equipped with advanced imaging systems, this groundbreaking mission also features two New Millennium Project Microprobes positioned on both upper left and lower right corners of the artwork. These microprobes are set to impact Mars' surface and bury small probes deep within its soil layers in search of water. The central focus remains on the Mars Polar Lander itself, an impressive feat of engineering that will utilize a robot arm to collect vital soil samples for detailed analysis onboard. This ambitious endeavor represents humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our home planet. Captured by Science Photo Library, this awe-inspiring artwork encapsulates not only scientific curiosity but also our unwavering determination to unravel the secrets hidden within our celestial neighbors. It serves as a testament to mankind's unyielding spirit of exploration and pushes boundaries further towards unlocking new frontiers in space research.
