Mariner 9 (Mariner Mars '71 / Mariner-I) was a robotic space probe that contributed greatly to the exploration of Mars and was part of the NASA Mariner program. Mariner 9 was launched toward Mars on May 30, 1971[1][2] from LC-36B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, and reached the planet on November 14 of the same year,[1][2] becoming the first spacecraft to orbit another planet[3] – only narrowly beating the Soviet probes Mars 2 (launched May 19) and Mars 3 (launched May 28), which both arrived at Mars only weeks later.
After the occurrence of dust storms on the planet for several months following its arrival, the orbiter managed to send back clear pictures of the surface. Mariner 9 successfully returned 7,329 images over the course of its mission, which concluded in October 1972.
Now you can have your own satellite! They are based on real, current and historical satellites, probes and rockets. Everything related to space exploration!
Each one is unique and handmade with care and love.
On each satellite page you can find a description to know more about it. PixelArt for the Science!
