Abstract

Early in November 1973, the Mariner Venus/Mercury spacecraft was launched from Complex 36B at Cape Kennedy on top of an Atlas /Centaur vehicle. It was the first dual-planet mission, the first spacecraft to explore Mercury, the first close-up television observation of Venus, and the first spacecraft to approach the Sun so closely. Along with two television cameras, six scientific instruments returned interplanetary and planetary data during Mariner's five-month primary mission.
