Martian clouds observed by Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera
[1] We have made daily global maps that cover both polar and equatorial regions of Mars for Ls 135 –360 and 0 –111 using the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) red and blue wide-angle swaths taken from May 1999 to January 2001. We study the seasonal distribution of condensate clouds and dust clouds during roughly 1 Martian year using these daily global maps. We present the dev...
متن کاملMars Reconnaissance Orbiter Radio Science Gravity Investigation
[1] The objectives of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Radio Science Gravity Investigation are to improve knowledge of the static structure and characterize the temporal variability of the Martian gravitational field relevant to the planet’s internal dynamics, the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere, and the orbital evolution of spacecraft at Mars. The investigation will utilize range...
متن کاملSharad: Radar Sounder on the 2005 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
Introduction: SHARAD (SHAllow RADar) is a subsurface sounding radar provided by ASI (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana) as a Facility Instrument for the 2005 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) mission. It is designed to characterize the upper several hundred meters of the martian subsurface. As of this writing, the instrument has been integrated into the payload on the spacecraft undergoing assembly at ...
متن کاملSHARAD sounding radar on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
[i] SHARAD (SHAllow RADar) is a sounding radar provided by Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) as a Facility Instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. Its 20-MHz center frequency and 10-MHz bandwidth complement the lower-frequency, relatively narrower bandwidth capability of the MARSIS sounding radar. A joint ItalianU.S. team has guided the experiment development and is responsible for...
متن کاملPossible ancient oceans on Mars: evidence from Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter data.
High-resolution altimetric data define the detailed topography of the northern lowlands of Mars, and a range of data is consistent with the hypothesis that a lowland-encircling geologic contact represents the ancient shoreline of a large standing body of water present in middle Mars history. The contact altitude is close to an equipotential line, the topography is smoother at all scales below t...
