Caption :

(12/29/1998) --- At Launch Complex 17B, Cape Canaveral Air Station, the Mars Polar Lander (top) and the Boeing Delta II rocket to which it's attached sit ready for the fairing to be attached. The rocket is scheduled to launch Jan. 3, 1999. The lander is a solar-powered spacecraft designed to touch down on the Martian surface near the northern-most boundary of the south pole in order to study the water cycle there. The lander also will help scientists learn more about climate change and current resources on Mars, studying such things as frost, dust, water vapor and condensates in the Martian atmosphere. It is the second spacecraft to be launched in a pair of Mars Surveyor '98 missions
