Swinging around Mars, it could take pictures through a camera showing objects 500 ft. long; then it would return to earth with its cargo of information. The whole vehicle, said Dr. Laning, need weigh only 300 Ibs. He thinks it could be tossed to Mars in about five to seven years from now, with no major technical breakthrough...
