(UPI) A robot space explorer launched last November was sending back "clear, exciting" pictures today as it sped toward the surface of Mercury, televising the first good look at the little known planet hidden in the glare of the sun.

Mariner 10 was scheduled to make its closest approach to Mercury about 450 miles and more than 91 million miles from earth. At Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, controllers said this morning that at a distance of 250,000 miles, the spacecraft was sending back "extremely clear, exciting pictures of the surface, showing many details." "There are many craters of different sizes and shapes," a spokesman said. "Some have central peaks, and ray patterns are now visible, but a number of bright spots are still a puzzle." At that distance, half the planet filled the cameras lenses, he said. But, he said, there was still no indication of what the surface of Mercury consists of. The cameras were clicking pictures at a rate of one every 42 seconds.

The picture signals are stored in the craft's recorder and relayed to earth at a rate of 13 an hour. The cameras, turned on for 36 pictures a day since last Saturday, have already given JUST A FEW OF THE HUNDREDS OF TRUE VALUES TO CHOOSE FROM PIS VSVN I4C luxurious v-XlJ SavoUpTo NOW Armstrong Acrylic mqo Velvet Plush JY4 Burlington Hqum Acrylic mm SM Sculpture 2Tom dtin Us Y4 Sculpture Nylon OOO Carpet by BeettJ Zy 41?

Mercury, closest planet to the sun, is difficult to see because Earth viewers must gaze almost directly into the blinding rays of the sun. Before the mission ends, scientists will have more than 2,000 pictures of the planet's surface, including closeups showing details down to 100 yards in size. The pictures received so far indicate the planet is pocked with craters like Mars and the moon.

Earnings for the previous 12-month period were $97.3 million, or $2.30 a shaie.

The company also reported that its earnings for last month were $11.7 million, or 23 cents share, as compared to $10.1 million, or 23 cents a share, for February 1973. The increased earnings were recorded despite a drop in sales and use of electricity Mercury may have some atmosphere, the planet's magnetic field if any and the effects of its exposure to the strongest 'blasts of the solar wind. The mission is trying to determine, among other things, why the planet is so dense for its relatively small size, only about a third bigger than Earth's moon, and whether Mercury has satellites of its own, a remote possibility.

A Mercurial day is believed to be about 173 times as long as an Earth day. The findings "may well explain not only where we are and where we came from, but where we're going as well," said project scientist Dr. James A.

Dunne, by adding to the store of knowledge on the evolution of the solar system. Mariner has long since become the closest spacecraft to the sun, passing the limits reached by Russian and American probes to Venus. This is only the first encounter between Mercury and Mariner 10-which photographed Venus as it flew past, thus becoming the first two-planet mission to reach both its targets. After passing Mercury, Mariner will go into orbit around the sun at a distance of about 38 million miles and next September will cross paths with Mercury again. JPL scientists plan to turn on its cameras then for a second view, probably of the Mercurial south pole.
