Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) after nine years of operation_ A summary

Mars Express, the first European interplanetary mission, carries the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) to search for ice and water in the Martian subsurface. Developed by an Italian–US team, MARSIS transmits low-frequency, wide-band radio pulses penetrating below the surface and reflected by dielectric discontinuities linked to structural or compositional chang...

Age Variations in the Martian Lowlands

Introduction: Studies by Frey et al. [1,2] and Frey [3,4] indicate the northern lowlands of Mars have been in existence for nearly all of martian history, predating even the very large impacts Hellas, Argyre and Isidis. Large populations of “Quasi-Circular Depressions” (QCDs) were observed in the northern lowlands in MOLA data where few impacts were visible in surface imagery. These “non-visibl...

Martian Surface Radar Reflectivity by Marsis

Introduction: Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) on board Mars Express is a decameter sounder radar, which can work in two different modes : subsurface or ionosphere sounding. The subsurface sounding uses 4 different frequency bands, which are centered to 1.8, 3, 4 and 5 MHz. Each band is 1 MHz wide. [1,2]. In this work, we study the reflectivity of Martian surf...

Large-diameter Visible and Buried Impact Basins on Mars: Implications for Age of the Highlands and (buried) Lowlands and Turn-off of the Global Magnetc Field

The global populations of visible and buried impact basins > 200 km diameter revealed by high resolution gridded MOLA indicate: (a) a small (~10) number of very large basins (D=1300-3000km), most of which have remained visible over martian history; (b) a much larger population of smaller basins (D=200-800 km) with many more buried than visible (on images); (c) a depletion of visible basins at i...
