                           MARS & MAGELLAN IMAGES
                             October 19, 1992
                         ==========================

    Two Mars images and line drawings of the Magellan spacecraft are now
available at the anonymous ftp site at ames.arc.nasa.gov.  The Mars images
are in both GIF and JPEG format, and show two views of the Mars globe as
constructed by USGS from the Viking Orbiter images.

     The "Magellan" drawing is quite accurate.  The "VGRAM" drawing has
been used frequently in Magellan publications, but actually represents
an early spacecraft design.  In the flight hardware, the attachment of
the propulsion thrusters was to a separate "propulsion equipment module",
rather than to the bus itself, as VGRAM shows.  The Magellan images are
available in GIF format and as Macintosh StartupScreen files.
