Review of the progress of Mariner series spacecraft with details on the Mariner 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 missions and equipment. The systems of Mariner 9 are discussed in great detail. Mariner 9 photographs of Mars, Phobos, Diemos, Martian peaks, Nix Olympica, Martian equatorial region, and some other Martian surface details are included. Diagrams of Mariner 9 daily operating profile, of Mariner 9 TV coverage vs time in orbit, and of Mariner 9 in superior conjunction on Sept. 7, 1972 are also given. It is hoped that Martian landing missions as planned in 1975 by the Viking project will be more productive than Mariner 9 in answering the question of whether life did, or does, exist on that planet.
