Washington — After the longest space exploration mission in

history (Nov. 28, 1964-Jul. 14, 1965), the National Aeronautics
and space Administration's Mariner IV electronic signals to
Earth were arriving with a signal strength of slightly less than
one billionth of one watt. Supersensitive receivers, coupled
with the big Deep Space Network antennas, were able to home
in on the Mariner signal, faint as it was, and amplify it for
telemetry processing, recording and relay, via a ground communi-
cations system, to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Mission
