Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)

(10/16/1998) --- In the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility-2 (SAEF-2), the Mars Polar Lander spacecraft is on display for the media, showing an almost fully installed set of components for its launch planned for Jan. 3, 1999. The solar-powered spacecraft is designed to touch down on the Martian surface near the northern-most boundary of the south pole in order to study the water cycle there. The lander also will help scientists learn more about climate change and current resources on Mars, studying such things as frost, dust, water vapor and condensates in the Martian atmosphere
