Bio of the MARS PATENT

Mars Polar Lander Participation Certificate, presented to Mars Gallery by Dr. Wesley T. Huntress, Associate Administrator, Office of Space Science, NASA, 17.4.1998,
on transporting the former name of the MARS PATENT on a CD-ROM wih the Mars Surveyor '98 Project to Mars. With the personal dedication: "Remember to keep your eyes to the skies becuase your name is now part of the cosmos!" (Unfortunately this NASA project suffered a crash landing on Mars –  but nevetheless transportation and dedication have proven to be reliable)
