Mars.- A collection of views from the spacecraft Mariners 6, 7 & 9, 33 vintage gelatin silver prints, each 255 x 205 mm. (10 x 8 in.) or the reverse, NASA "meatball" logos, reference numbers and captions on versos, loose in sleeves of an A4 binder, 1969-1972. ⁂ The twin probes Mariner 6 and 7 were flyby missions, each covering a different area of the planet with a series of far and near encounter views. Mariner 9 was the next and last of the programme - Mariner 8 had failed during launch - and the first ever to orbit another planet. Its detailed and dramatic images revealed gigantic volcanoes and ancient riverbeds raising questions which remain to be answered.
