The commands turned on and then turned off power to the tape recorder, and pointed the TV camera as it would have to be when it got close to Mars. Everything functioned well.

...target of beryllium with a beam of high-energy protons. This resulted in a debris of. particles that sped through the 300-ft. magnetic field of the spectrometer, where they could be sorted and analyzed. When 16 giant, 20-ton magnets were set to pass positively charged particles, the apparatus made careful readings of the flight path, momentum and velocity of these particles. Computers showed where there was a mass peak of deuterons. Then, by reversing the field, the scientists ran the same tests to detect negatively charged particles. Since antiparticles behave the same way as their ordinary counterparts...
