* 1965 – The Mariner 4 flyby of Mars takes the first close-up photos of another planet.

rightMariner 3 and Mariner 4 were Mars flyby missions.

Its sister ship, 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.

Mariner 4 ( together with Mariner 3 known as Mariner-Mars 1964 ) was the fourth in a series of spacecraft, launched on November 28, 1964, intended for planetary exploration in a flyby mode and performed the first successful flyby of the planet Mars, returning the first pictures of the Martian surface.

Mariner 4 was designed to conduct closeup scientific observations of Mars and to transmit these observations to Earth.

On December 21, 1967 communications with Mariner 4 were terminated.

The Mariner 4 spacecraft consisted of an octagonal magnesium frame, 127 cm across a diagonal and 45. 7 cm high.

Mariner 4 is prepared for a weight test on 1 November 1963

The electrical power for the instruments and the radio transmitter of Mariner 4 was supplied by 28, 224 solar cells contained in the four 176 x 90 cm solar panels, which could provide 310 watts at the distance of Mars.

Mariner 4 was the first space probe that needed a star for a navigational reference object, since earlier missions, which remained near either the Earth, the Moon, or the planet Venus, had sighted onto either the bright face of the home planet or the brightly lit target.

The telecommunications equipment on Mariner 4 consisted of dual S-band transmitters ( with either a seven-watt triode cavity amplifier or a ten watt traveling-wave tube amplifier ) and a single radio receiver which together could send and receive data via the low-and high-gain antennas at 8⅓ or 33⅓ bits per second.

Launch of Mariner 4

After launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 12 the protective shroud covering Mariner 4 was jettisoned and the Agena D / Mariner 4 combination separated from the Atlas D booster at 14: 27: 23 UTC on November 28, 1964.

Mariner 4 separated from the Agena D at 15: 07: 09 and began cruise mode operations.

The 7½ months of flight of Mariner 4 involved one midcourse maneuver on December 5, 1964.

After the maneuver, Mariner 4 was on course for Mars as planned.

At 02: 19: 11 UT Mariner 4 passed behind Mars as seen from Earth and the radio signal ceased.

On December 21, 1967 communications with Mariner 4 were terminated.

The images returned showed a Moon-like cratered terrain, which later missions showed was not typical for Mars, but only for the more ancient region imaged by Mariner 4.

" Also in 1990, Thomas McFarland stated, " Judging by the number and variety of critical effort to interpret their meaning, there may be no more palpably symbolic poems in all of English literature than Kubla Khan and The Ancient Mariner.

Hearne may have been one of the inspirations for the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

The contemporary 1797 – 98 poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, contains a similar account of a ghost ship, which may have been influenced by the tale of the Flying Dutchman.

In addition, the three sons of the Architect and the Old One may reference the Holy Trinity, the Father ( Lord Sunday ), the Son ( The Mariner ), and the Holy Spirit ( The Piper ), as well as the three Greek gods Zeus ( Lord Sunday ), Poseidon ( The Mariner ), and Hades ( Pied Piper ; he was banished to the Void of Nothing )

William Mariner may refer to:

Space probes have been placed into orbit around all the five planets known to the ancients: first Mars ( Mariner 9, 1971 ), then Venus ( Venera 9, 1975 ; but landings on Venus and atmospheric probes were performed even earlier ), Jupiter ( Galileo, 1995 ), Saturn ( Cassini / Huygens, 2004 ), and most recently Mercury ( MESSENGER, March 2011 ), and have returned data about these bodies and their natural satellites.

When coming to Kubla Khan, he pointed out: " instead of being content to have written finely under the influence of laudanum, recommends ' Kubla-Khan ' to his readers, not as a poem, but as ' a psychological curiosity ' ... Every lover of books, scholar or not, who knows what it is to have his quarto open against a loaf at his tea ... ought to be in possession of Mr. Coleridge's poems, if it is only for ' Christabel ', ' Kubla Khan ', and the ' Ancient Mariner '.

" In 1895, Andrew Lang reviewed the Letters of Coleridge in addition to Coleridge's Kubla Khan, Christabel and Rime of the Ancient Mariner, saying: " all these poems are ' miraculous ;' all seem to have been ' given ' by the dreaming ' subconscious self ' of Coleridge.

The mission was a success, and Mariner 2 became the first spacecraft to have flown by another planet.

These characteristics of the Mariner transposon have inspired the science fiction novel titled, " The Mariner Project ".

Mariner 2 was the first spacecraft to have a positive encounter with a planet.

The stories had contradictions, perhaps, but they were so technical that nobody who could have interfered with Mariner program progress was likely to care about them or even notice.

: From what I can gather it seems that the Ancient Mariner has upon the whole been an injury to the volume, I mean that the old words and the strangeness of it have deterred readers from going on.

Albatrosses have featured in poetry in the form of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which in turn gave rise to the usage of albatross as metaphor for a burden.

Olerud started the second game ; his first time up, Mariner catcher Dan Wilson went to the mound to have a " conference " with pitcher Jamie Moyer.

The albatrosses have been described as " the most legendary of birds ", and have a variety of myths and legends associated with them, and today it is widely considered unlucky to harm them, although the notion that sailors believed that is a myth which derives from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem, " The Rime of the Ancient Mariner ", in which a sailor is punished for killing an albatross by having to wear its corpse around his neck.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Ancient Mariner and Strang's own Allegory of Death and The Plowman's Wife, have served him with suitable imaginative subjects.

With the discovery by Mariner 4 in 1965 that Mars had only a tenuous atmosphere, the mission was changed to have both an orbiter and lander.

The orbiter would have been a modified Mariner probe identical to that employed for Mariner 8 and Mariner 9, while the landers would have been Surveyor moon probes modified with the use of aeroshells and a combination parachute / retrorocket landing systems.

* He is believed to have influenced the writing of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem " The Rime of the Ancient Mariner ".
