Mariner program

The Mariner program was conducted by the American space agency NASA to explore other planets. Between 1962 and late 1973, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) designed and built 10 robotic interplanetary probes named Mariner to explore the inner Solar System - visiting the planets Venus, Mars and Mercury for the first time, and returning to Venus and Mars for additional close observations.

The program included a number of interplanetary firsts, including the first planetary flyby, the planetary orbiter, and the first gravity assist maneuver. Of the 10 vehicles in the Mariner series, seven were successful, forming the starting point for many subsequent NASA/JPL space probe programs. 

The name of the Mariner program was decided in "May 1960-at the suggestion of Edgar M. Cortright" to have the "planetary mission probes ... patterned after nautical terms, to convey 'the impression of travel to great distances and remote lands.'" That "decision was the basis for naming Mariner, Ranger, Surveyor, and Viking probes."

Each spacecraft was to carry solar panels that would be pointed toward the Sun and a dish antenna that would be pointed at Earth. Each would also carry a host of scientific instruments. Some of the instruments, such as cameras, would need to be pointed at the target body it was studying. Other instruments were non-directional and studied phenomena such as magnetic fields and charged particles. JPL engineers proposed to make the Mariners "three-axis-stabilized," meaning that unlike other space probes they would not spin.

Mariner 1 and Mariner 2

Mariner 1 and Mariner 2 were two deep-space probes making up NASA's Mariner-R project. The primary goal of the project was to develop and launch two spacecraft sequentially to the near vicinity of Venus, receive communications from the spacecraft and to perform radiometric temperature measurements of the planet. A secondary objective was to make interplanetary magnetic field and/or particle measurements on the way to, and in the vicinity of, Venus.

Mariners 3 and 4

Sisterships Mariner 3 and Mariner 4 were Mars flyby missions.

Mariner 3 was launched on November 5, 1964, but the shroud encasing the spacecraft atop its rocket failed to open properly and Mariner 3 did not get to Mars.

Mariner 4, launched on November 28, 1964, was the first successful flyby of the planet Mars and gave the first glimpse of Mars at close range

This archival image is an enhanced contrast version of the first Mars photograph released on July 15, 1965. This is man's first close-up photograph of another planet -- a photographic representation of digital data radioed from Mars by the Mariner 4 spacecraft. Data was either sent to Earth immediately for acquisition or stored on an onboard tape recorder for later transmission.

The pictures, played back from a small tape recorder over a long period, showed lunar-type impact craters (just beginning to be photographed at close range from the Moon), some of them touched with frost in the chill Martian evening. 

Mariner 5

The Mariner 5 spacecraft was launched to Venus on June 14, 1967, and arrived in the vicinity of the planet in October 1967. It carried a complement of experiments to probe Venus' atmosphere with radio waves, scan its brightness in ultraviolet light, and sample the solar particles and magnetic field fluctuations above the planet.

Mariners 6 and 7

Mariners 6 and 7 were identical teammates in a two-spacecraft mission to Mars. Mariner 6 was launched on February 24, 1969, followed by Mariner 7 on March 21, 1969. They flew over the equator and southern hemisphere of the planet Mars.

Mariners 8 and 9

Mariner 8 and Mariner 9 were identical sister craft designed to map the Martian surface simultaneously, but Mariner 8 was lost in a launch vehicle failure. Mariner 9 was launched in May 1971 and became the first artificial satellite of Mars. 

Mariner 10

The Mariner 10 spacecraft launched on November 3, 1973, and was the first to use a gravity assist trajectory, accelerating as it entered the gravitational influence of Venus, then being flung by the planet's gravity onto a slightly different course to reach Mercury. It was also the first spacecraft to encounter two planets at close range, and for 33 years the only spacecraft to photograph Mercury in closeup.

Marked Complex Asymmetrical Drawing

Week 5 Exercises and Marked Complex Asymmetrical Drawing Reflection:

In this week's beneficial lesson, we were taught how to utilise a central axis effectively in our drawings, along with the presence of a light grid. Whether it be symmetrical or asymmetrical, it is mainly there to build balance and allow the drawer to make an appropriate assumption towards proper scale, sizing and proportion. This then allows the central axis to divide the drawing in a manner that makes it easier to read and begin drawing the image that is planned as it can obtain the ability to highlight stability and order, which exemplifies an overall cohesive and grounded piece of work. 

In a symmetrical drawing, which can be perceived through the warm up exercise of the apple and the human skull, each side of the axis mirrors each other, which allows the drawing to be completed on a more professional level, this allows the image to appear as a visually satisfying equilibrium. Once we were able to draw a solid foundation, we were given the task to increase the complexity, this can essentially include shading and bringing the image to life. 

Furthermore, I had selected a car as my choice of a complex asymmetrical drawing, a Porsche GT3, as it remains as one of my most liked cars for its aggressive rear end which can make a statement on the road in person, and digitally, i had hoped to replicate its beauty through a drawing by utilising an axis horizontally and vertically, along with a very light grid. I had then discovered that an axis can also be beneficial for an image that is not mirrored, this is due to the idea that an axis can act as an anchor for reference and allows the overall composition to remain properly scaled. Since the image is asymmetrical, it also allowed me to remain balanced through the presence of the axis although I was given more space to draw with more complexity, rather than having to mirror the opposite side of the drawing. 

I had learned that utilising the axis as an anchor exhibited its ability to communicate an effective impact and clarity towards drawing the image, allowing me to refer back to the axis for further assistance in terms of sizing and scale, as drawing a car contains many different aspects that need to be considered otherwise a car can be easily ruined when being drawn.
