NASA to crash tiny probes into M
PASADENA, Calif. (APJ — Two
little space probes heading for Mars
this week will not float beneath
parachutes or bounce to a landing
on cushions. Instead, they will
smash into the planet at 400 mph,
punching into the ground like inter
planetary lawn darts.
If the drastic landing technique
works Friday, the softball-size in
strument packages will search for
water and test lower-cost technolo
gy that could revolutionize solar sys
tem exploration.
The Deep Space 2 probes are fly
ing toward the Red Planet along with
the Mars Polar Lander.
After they reach Mars, Polar Lan
der will begin a controlled descent.
The probes will follow 18 seconds
later, but unlike the lander their 77-
mile fall will not be slowed by any
expensive parachutes or thrusters.
“We’re not your average mis
sion — we’re slamming into a
planet at 400 mph,” Deep Space 2
project manager Sarah Gavit at
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
said.
The $29.6 million Deep Space
2 probes are part of NASA’s New
Millennium program, a series of
inexpensive missions testing un
tried technology for future space
craft. Ten systems will be tried out
during the Mars mission.
For four years, Gavit and her
team have been throwing models
out of airplanes over the Mojave
Desert and firing electronic de-

Two basketball-sized microprobes will be

The microprobes slam into the planet's

small science station will also measure soil

After about 20 attempts, they fi

will be 60,000 times stronger than
gravity on Earth.

Head of Mexican restaurant dies in plane eras
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A float plane piloted by the
head of a Mexican health food restaurant chain carrying
his three sons crashed into the Columbia River, killing
all aboard.
William S. “Tiger” Warren, the 48-year-old chair of
Portland-based Macheezmo Mouse, was flying to the
family’s summer home in Washington with sons Jack,
14; Will, 13; and Rob, 9, after a Thanksgiving gathering,
family members said.
The plane went down about 3 p.m. Saturday near
the Washington side of the river, about 45 miles east
of Portland, shortly after it left the water and began
climbing into the sky, Dave Cox, spokesperson for
the Skamania County sheriff’s office, said.
“Witnesses said the plane was taking off, banking
sharply to the left, and then went down,” Cox said.
Dive teams on Saturday retrieved two bodies, a man
believed to be Warren and a child. T\vo other bodies were
pulled from the plane yesterday.
