RED PLANET DAY

On November 28, Red Planet Day is observed in remembrance of the 1964 NASA launch of Mariner 4, the first spacecraft to land on Mars. The spacecraft finally made a fly-by of the red planet on July 14, 1965, after traveling there for nearly eight months. The Mariner 4 spacecraft was built to collect data during fly-bys, enabling planetary exploration and up-close scientific observations of Mars, and to relay that data back to people on Earth.
