1969 Press Photo Terrain and craters of Mars made by Mariner 7 camera.

Every photo in our collection is an original vintage print from a newspaper or news service archive, not a digital image. Please see our FAQ for more information.

Description
Rugged terrain with many craters is revealed in this picture of Mars returned to Jet Propulsion Laboratory tonight by Mariner 7. The picture is the fifth in the near encounter series, although the data block at right calls it No. 6, the result of a computer "glitch," Dark streak paralleling the top is not a feature of the terrain but rather a residual image left on the television tube by the previous pictures.

Photo is dated 1969.

Photo measures 10.5 x 8.25 inches.
