  1. In July 1965, Mariner 4 made history with the first successful flyby of Mars, transmitting the first photos of another planet. Rod Pyle, Tariq Malik & Rob Manning look back at the mission that transformed our vision of space.

  6. Here is another section of the Mariner 4 image sequence with pictures located on a modern map. The previous 6 images were taken with high sun and in an area of fairly bland landscapes (at this resolution), but here we get recognizable craters. Some are named after explorers (before they became unfashionable). Mariner itself gets a crater named after it.

  11. I mis-spoke there - we don't see a new map right now, but new things. This map, with the old Air Force map as a base, shows the locations of the Mariner 4 images taken in 1965. We take this for granted today but the idea that you could build a machine and send it to Mars, and get pictures of its surface back was unbelievably audacious at the time. There were a few extra frames but they crossed the terminator and showed nothing. How did I know where to put those images? #maps #Mars #Mariner4

  16. 60 years ago #OTD #Mariner4 was launched and became the first spacecraft successfully to fly past #Mars and return images of the Red Planet from close range: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10455 - those images appeared to show a cratered, dead planet, changing the scientific community's view of the habitability of Mars; that view would change again with the arrival of Mariner 9 in 1971, which revealed a world that, in the past at least, was much more dynamic and showed evidence of past surface water.

  21. The first digital image from space was a color-by-number... with some assembly required.

    "A real-time data translator machine converted Mariner 4 digital image data into numbers printed on strips of paper. The team colored in the strips by hand with pastels, making this both a work of art and the first digital image from space." - NASA/JPL-Caltech (science.nasa.gov/mission/marin)
