Mariner

Mariner is a spacecraft series developed by NASA to explore our neighboring planets, particularly Mercury and Mars. These missions aim to gather detailed data on planetary surfaces, atmospheres, and environments, helping scientists understand planetary compositions and conditions. Mariner spacecraft are equipped with instruments like cameras and sensors to capture images and measurements from space, sending information back to Earth for analysis. Their discoveries have advanced knowledge of planetary geology and atmospheric processes, providing valuable insights for future exploration and deepening our understanding of the solar system.
