	Mariner 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mariner 3 and 4 were identical spacecraft of the Mariner program designed to carry out the first flybys of Mars.
		Mariner 3 was launched on November 5, 1964, but the shroud encasing the spacecraft atop its rocket failed to open properly, and Mariner 3 did not get to Mars.
		Three weeks later, on November 28, 1964, Mariner 4 was launched successfully on an eight-month voyage to the red planet.

	Mariner program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mariner 5 spacecraft was launched to Venus on June 14, 1967 and arrived in the vicinity of the planet in October 1967.
		Mariner 8 and Mariner 9 were identical sister craft designed to map the Martian surface simultaneously, but Mariner 8 was lost in a launch vehicle failure.
		The Mariner 10 spacecraft launched on November 3, 1973 and was the first to use a gravity assist trajectory, accelerating as it entered the gravitational influence of Venus, then being flung by the planet's gravity onto a slightly different course to reach Mercury.

	Jet Propulsion Laboratory
		The Mariners were all relatively small robotic explorers, each launched on an Atlas rocket with either an Agena or Centaur upper-stage booster, and weighing less than half a ton (without onboard rocket propellant).
		Mariner 3 and 4 were identical spacecraft designed to carry out the first flybys of Mars.
		The Mariner 4 spacecraft was not expected to survive much longer than the eight months to its Mars flyby encounter, but actually lasted about three years in solar orbit, continuing long-term studies of the solar wind environment and making coordinated measurements with Mariner 5, a sister ship launched to Venus in 1967.

	Mariner 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mariner 3 was part of the Mariner series of flyby spacecraft.
		The importance of the Mariner series in the history of space exploration is given by the images they sent back to Earth from the planets of Venus, Mercury, and Mars.
		Inside this series of flyby probes, the Mariner 3 is important, because it was the first American attempt to obtain images of the red planet.

	Miall -- Mariner #3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		But the Mariner's concluding statement, particularly his lines "the dear God who loveth us, / He made and loveth all" (616-7) seems too far removed from his experience to be persuasive, too abstract to encompass the depth and horror of that experience.
		What God has made of the Mariner turns out to be something quite other than a work of love ("God himself / Scarce seeméd there to be"; 599-600); and the Mariner has not averted his exile's fate by seeking God's love in the kirk either, where he prays "With a goodly company" (604).
		The Mariner's sufferings are greatly out of proportion in comparison with what seems a relatively trivial crime; the death of the rest of the crew is even more so.

	The Martin Mariner, Mars, & Marlin Flying Boats
		Mariners immediately quickly found themselves operating in near-war conditions, as the US was expanding the range and scope of naval patrols to help protect shipments of material to Britain against German U-boats.
		The Mariner was stripped down of all non-essential items, fitted with specially modified beaching gear, turned into the wind, and then took off from the dry lake bed, finally arriving in San Diego with no further trouble.
		From 5 to 7 demilitarized Mariners were used by a Columbian air transport company in the late 1940s, but the company folded after a year or so in operation, and apparently a handful of Mariners flew with US civil companies as cargo haulers for a time.

	[No title]
		Although conceived at the same time as Mariner A, Mariner B was heavier and more ambitious.
		The fly-by bus was to carry a similar instrument complement to Mariner A, with the addition of a TV camera yielding a 1 km ground resolution.
		This led NASA to reschedule the launch of the first Mariner B to Mars to 1966, effectively canceling the program as this launch window was already reserved to the overly ambitious Voyager Mars lander which, in fact, never flew.

	ATPM 10.06 - Review: Mariner Write 3.6
		Mariner’s answer to Excel, a spreadsheet program called Calc, got me out of a messy situation once before, when for some reason, which I no longer remember, I needed to work with more columns than Excel could handle.
		Mariner Write, as a word processor, does what you’d expect a word processor to do: style sheets, footnotes, thesaurus, WYSIWYG font menu, scalable in-line and floating graphics, multi-column support, insertable tables…just to name a few features.
		Several documents I tried showed up just fine in Mariner Write, but one was kind of a mess: only text on the first page was visible, but Write showed a second, apparently blank page.
