(03/27/1969) - An Atlas-Centaur was launched at 5:22 p.m. EST today to send Mariner 7 on its way to Mars. The second Mars probe to be launched by the KSC Unmanned Launch Operations Directorate this year, Mariner 7 will join a sister spacecraft on a journey that will carry them within 2,000 miles of the red planet this summer. Mariner 6 was launched from Cape Kennedy on Feb. 24 and is to investigate the Martian equatorial area while Mariner 7 will concentrate on the South Polar Cap.
