Water Distribution in Martian Permafrost Regions from Joint Analysis of HEND (Mars Odyssey) and MOLA (Mars Global Surveyor) Data
We jointly analyze data from the High-Energy Neutron Detector (HEND) onboard the NASA Mars Odyssey spacecraft and data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) onboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. The former instrument measures the content of hydrogen (in the form of Н2О or OH) in the subsurface layer of soil and the latter instrument measures the surface albedo with respect to the ...
متن کاملObservation of Martian Seasonal Caps: Dimensions, density, mass, inter annual variations
Introduction: For this investigation we have used neutron spectroscopy data gathered with HEND/GRS instrument onboard Mars Odyssey. Starting from 2002 this mission passed through primary and several extended phases accumulating enormous data volume. During this mission one has been proved that orbital mapping of neutron flux from martian surface (instruments HEND, NS and GRS) is powerful method...
متن کاملGlobal Distribution of Shallow Water on Mars: Neutron Mapping of Summer-Time Surface by HEND/Odyssey I.G.Mitrofanov,
Introduction. Orbital mapping of induced neutrons and gamma-rays by Odyssey has recently successfully proven the applicability of nuclear methods for studying of the elementary composition of Martian upper-most subsurface. In particular, the suite of Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) has discovered the presence of large water-ice rich regions southward and northward on Mars [1-3]. The data of neutro...
متن کاملWater ice permafrost on Mars: Layering structure and subsurface distribution according to HEND/Odyssey and MOLA/MGS data
[1] To elucidate the nature of permafrost in the shallow subsurface of Mars, we analyze jointly neutron albedo from the High Energy Neutron Detector (HEND) on the Mars Odyssey spacecraft and near-IR (1064-nm) surface reflectance from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) on Mars Global Surveyor. The first dataset measures the content of hydrogen (in the form of water or hydroxyl) in the soil,...
متن کاملGlobal distribution of near-surface hydrogen on Mars
[1] Neutron data observed using the Neutron Spectrometer aboard 2001 Mars Odyssey provide a lower limit to the global inventory of Martian water-equivalent hydrogen. Hydrogen-rich deposits ranging between about 20% and 100% water-equivalent by mass are found poleward of ±50 latitude, and less rich, but significant, deposits are found at near-equatorial latitudes. The equatorial deposits between...
