Usgs High-resolution Topomapping of Mars with Mars Orbiter Camera Narrow-angle Images
We describe our initial experiences producing controlled digital elevation models (DEMs) of Mars with horizontal resolutions of ≤10 m and vertical precisions of ≤2 m. Such models are of intense interest at all phases of Mars exploration and scientific investigation, from the selection of safe landing sites to the quantitative analysis of the morphologic record of surface processes. Topomapping ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution Topomapping of Candidate Mer Landing Sites with Moc: New Results and Error Analyses
Introduction: This abstract describes the continuation of work initially reported last year [1] on topographic mapping and roughness analysis of candidate Mars Exploration Rover (MER) landing sites using high-resolution images from the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera Narrow-Angle subsystem (MGS MOC-NA; [2]). The main goal of this work at present is to contribute to assessments of wheth...
متن کاملViscous flow features on the surface of Mars: Observations from high-resolution Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) images
[1] A unique morphology suggestive of viscous flow of a meters-thick surface layer was identified in high-resolution (<10 m/pixel) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) images. A global survey of 13,000 MOC images resulted in the identification of 146 images exhibiting these viscous flow features. Slope angles derived from Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data, along with an experimentally derived flow ...
متن کاملMars Exploration Rover candidate landing sites as viewed by THEMIS
The analysis of six landing sites that were candidates for the two NASA Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) benefited from recently available image data from the Thermal Emission Imaging Spectrometer (THEMIS) onboard the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft. The combination of daytime and nighttime thermal infrared images from THEMIS supplemented by additional data sets has lead to new or expanded insights i...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Digital Elevation Models of Mars from Moc Narrow Angle
Introduction: In this abstract we report on our initial experiences performing stereotopographic mapping of Mars with high-resolution images from the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera Narrow-Angle subsystem (MGS MOC-NA; [1]). Accurate topog-raphic information, and, in particular, high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) are of intense interest at all phases of Mars exploration and...
