Mariner 4, en interplanetarisk rymdsond byggd av den amerikanska rymdflygsstyrelsen NASA, var den fjärde i en serie om 12 planerade sonder (sedermera 10 då de två sista sonderna döptes om till Voyager) i Marinerprogrammet.
Huvuduppdrag
Sonden sköts upp den 28 november 1964 med planeten Mars som mål. Väl framme var ett av målen att ta bilder av Mars yta, vilket sonden gjorde i juli 1965.[1] Total mängd tillbakasänd data var cirka 634 kB, varav det mesta utgjordes av 22 bilder.

Mariner 4 image, the first close-up image ever taken of Mars. This shows an area about 330 km across by 1200 km from limb to bottom of frame, centered at 37 N, 187 W. The area is near the boundary of Elysium Planitia to the west and Arcadia Planitia to the east. The hazy area barely visible above the limb on the left side of the image may be clouds. The resolution of this image is roughly 5 km and north is up. (Mariner 4, frame 01D).
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took the picture of Mars on June 26, 2001, when Mars was approximately 68 million kilometers (43 million miles) from Earth — the closest Mars has ever been to Earth since 1988. Hubble can see details as small as 16 kilometers (10 miles) across. The colors have been carefully balanced to give a realistic view of Mars' hues as they might appear through a telescope. Especially striking is the large amount of seasonal dust storm activity seen in this image. One large storm system is churning high above the northern polar cap (top of image), and a smaller dust storm cloud can be seen nearby. Another large dust storm is spilling out of the giant Hellas impact basin in the Southern Hemisphere (lower right).
