Mars Polar lander, launched on January 3, 1999, arrived at Mars on December 3, 1999.
Japan's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) launched Nozomi, its first mission to the planet Mars using the newly developed M-V launch vehicle on July 3, 1998.
The Nozomi spacecraft is the first to achieve an Earth-Mars transfer orbit without a direct hyperbolic insertion maneuver.
Orbit determination of the Lunar Prospector spacecraft performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was conducted as part of the lunar gravity experiment.
This paper describes the PVO atmospheric reentry, the navigational strategy and operational scenario employed, and the atmospheric drag measurements collected.
