Martian Lineaments from Mariner 6 and 7 Images
Mariner 6 and 7 images were used to investigate the nature and importance of linear surface trends on Mars. Cross correlations of frequency-azimuth distributions of linear trends from different Mariner frames indicate that linearions not recognized as topographic features have a component of artifacts, probably introduced during digital reconstruction of the images. Consequently, topographic an...
متن کاملMariner IV: Analysis of Preliminary Photographs.
Comparison of the distributions of Martian and lunar crater diameters indicates that the visible surface of Mars is 2.2 to 3 x 10(9) years old. This result implies that in the early history of Mars large-scale subaerial erosion occurred. Of 69 Martian craters with diameters greater than 10 kilometers, 13 percent have central peaks. This compares favorably with the frequency (11.7 percent) of ce...
متن کاملMariner 9 television reconnaissance of Mars and its satellites: preliminary results.
At orbit insertion on 14 November 1971 the Martian surface was largely obscured by a dust haze with an extinction optical depth that ranged from near unity in the south polar region to probably greater than 2 over most of the planet. The only features clearly visible were the south polar cap, one dark, spot in Nix Olympica, and three dark spots in the Tharsis region. During the third week the a...
متن کاملMariner 6 and 7 Ultraviolet Spectrometer Experiment Analysis of Hydrogen LymanAlpha Data
Mariner 6 and 7 ultraviolet spectrometers that flew by Mars in 1969 observed the Lyman-, dayglow of atomic hydrogen. Data in the altitude range 200 to 24,000 km are analyzed to determine the structure of the Martian exosphere. The classical evaporative theory is applied to calculate a hydrogen density distribution. A spherical model of the dayglow Lyman-a emission, using radiative transfer theo...
متن کاملMariner 6, 7, and 9 Ultraviolet Spectrometer Experiment: Analysis of hydrogen Lyman alpha data
Four Lyman a airglow measurements of the limb and disc of Mars, made by ultraviolet spectrometers on Mariner 6 and 7 in 1969 and Mariner 9 in 1971, are analyzed to determine the amount and distribution of atomic hydrogen above 80 km. The variation of atomic hydrogen with altitude is calculated by using time-independent chemical diffusion models from 80 to 250 km, and tin exospheric model is use...
