MARS CLIMATE ORBITER INVESTIGATION BOARD 
ISSUES FIRST STATEMENT

     Members of the NASA review board investigating the loss of 
Mars Climate Orbiter began meeting this week at the Jet Propulsion 
Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, CA, and today issued the following 
statement:  

     "We want to understand what was the root cause of this 
failure," said board chairman Art Stephenson, director of NASA's 
Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL.  "Based on that 
understanding, we will recommend actions the JPL/Lockheed Martin 
team might take regarding the Mars Polar Lander spacecraft, 
scheduled to land on Mars on Dec. 3."
