Scientists released new radar pictures Friday during a news conference at the National aeronautics and space administrations Jet propulsion Laboratory. Engineers were relieved they were Able to regain Contact with the spacecraft after a 40-minute blackout thursday. It was the third such communications failure in three months. Project manager Tony Spear said it could happen again but called Magellan a health a very some pictures show 600-mile-Long, 300-mile-wide Horseshoe shaped features each surrounding a meteorite Impact Crater 10 Miles to 15 Miles wide. The horseshoes May have been formed by Shock Waves triggered by incoming meteorites or by windblown debris that settled to the ground after being kicked up by the impacts said geologist Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis. They Are a unique in the solar system a he said.

In places the mountains Are no longer being squeezed upward and Are collapsing Down onto Lowland Plains he added. Magellan was launched from space shuttle Atlantis on May 4, 1989, arrived at Venus on aug. 10 and formally started mapping the planet sept. 15. Magellan has used radar to peer through Clouds and map 18 percent of Venus landscape comparable to m area on Earth stretching from los Angeles to Reykjavik Iceland and covering most of North and South America. Thursdays loss of Contact with Magellan halted mapping for most of the Day. Engineers still done to know the exact cause but suspect excess Static sometimes disrupts one of Magellan a computers Spear said.
