Scientists are excited about the new balloons because they can
carry huge payloads to the very edges of the Earth's atmosphere at
a fraction of the cost of launching them on rockets.
Item 4h - SOUNDBITE
The shadow of the martian moon, Phobos, has been captured in many
recent wide angle camera views of the red planet obtained by the
Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC). Designed to
monitor changes in weather and surface conditions, the wide angle
cameras are also proving to be a good way to spot the frequent
solar eclipses caused by the passage of Phobos between Mars and
the Sun. Image shows Phobos, the inner and larger of the two moons
of Mars. Imaged on Aug. 19, 1998, by the Mars global
Surveyor/Mars Orbiter Camera.
