    First Light Newsletter - July 2003

    Destination Mars

    NASA's Spirit spacecraft, the first of twin Mars Exploration Rovers, launched
    successfully for the red planet on June 10. Its twin, Opportunity, seen below, is
    scheduled to launch Saturday, June 28, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.

    If all goes well, both rovers will arrive at Mars in January 2004 and roam different
    landing areas on the planet that bear evidence of a wet history.
