MRO’s HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGING SCIENCE EXPERIMENT (HiRISE): POLAR SCIENCE EXPECTATIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is expected to launch in August 2005, arrive at Mars in March 2006, and begin the primary science phase in November 2006. MRO will carry a suite of remote-sensing instruments and is designed to routinely point off-nadir to precisely target locations on Mars for high-resolution observations. The mission will have a much higher data return than any previous planetary mission, with 34 Tbits of returned data expected in the first Mars year in the mapping orbit (255 x 320 km).

متن کاملMRO’s HiRISE COVERAGE OF FLUVIAL LANDFORMS ON MARS DURING ITS PRIMARY
Introduction: The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment completed its primary science phase (lasting one Mars year) in November 2008. By the end of the primary science phase, the HiRISE camera completed 9549 observations for a total of approximately 8 Terabytes of data. These observations cover an area close to 938,000 km 2 or approximately 0.6% of the surface...
متن کاملSeasonally active frost-dust avalanches on a north polar scarp of Mars captured by HiRISE
[1] North-polar temporal monitoring by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) orbiting Mars has discovered new, dramatic examples that Mars’ CO2-dominated seasonal volatile cycle is not limited to quiet deposition and sublimation of frost. In early northern martian spring, 2008, HiRISE captured several cases of CO2 frost and dust cascading down a steep, polar scarp in discrete ...
