 Ranger 7 Party
Employees welcomed special guests to Goldstone Tracking Station in August 1964 to celebrate the success of Ranger 7. From Left to right are Deputy Director Alvin Luedecke, Dr. Pickering, Assistant Laboratory Director for Lunar and Planetary Projects Robert Parks, and Ranger Project Manager Harris "Bud" Schurmeier. Signs on the back wall read "Today the Moon…" and "Tomorrow, Mars" - referring to Ranger 7, the first successful Moon mission, and their high hopes for Mariner 4, the first Mars flyby mission which was launched in November 1964. For more information about Dr. Pickering, see the links on the main Historical Photo of the Month page, or contact the JPL Archives.
