SHARAD (SHAllow RADar) is a sounding radar provided by Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) as Facility Instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. Its 20‐MHz center frequency and 10‐MHz bandwidth complement lower‐frequency, relatively narrower capability of MARSIS radar. A joint Italian‐U.S. team has guided experiment development responsible for data analysis interpretation. The transmits signals at 700 Hz pulse repetition (PRF) collects reflections from both surface near subsurface...
The Shallow Radar (SHARAD) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has imaged internal stratigraphy of north polar layered deposits Mars. reflections within reveal a laterally continuous deposition layers, which typically consist four packets finely spaced reflectors separated by homogeneous interpacket regions nearly pure ice. packet/interpacket structure can be explained approximately million-year periodicities in Mars' obliquity or orbital eccentricity. observed 100-meter maximum deflection...
The Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) is the main imaging system onboard European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) which was launched on 14 March 2016. CaSSIS intended to acquire moderately high resolution (4.6 m/pixel) targeted images of Mars at a rate 10–20 per day from roughly circular orbit 400 km above surface. Each image can be acquired in up four colours stereo capability foreseen by use novel rotation mechanism. A typical product one acquisition will...
Abstract The SIMBIO-SYS (Spectrometer and Imaging for MPO BepiColombo Integrated Observatory SYStem) is a complex instrument suite part of the scientific payload Mercury Planetary Orbiter mission, last cornerstone missions European Space Agency (ESA) Horizon + science program. will provide all imaging capability spacecraft. It consists three channels: STereo Channel (STC), with broad spectral band in 400-950 nm range medium spatial resolution (at best 58 m/px), that Digital Terrain Model...
Paleolacustrine environments have been widely recognized from landform associations on the surface of Mars. In contrast to paleolakes in more open areas, putative crater lakes commonly display well‐developed sedimentary landforms, especially wave‐formed terraces and Gilbert‐type deltas. This study focuses deltas Western Memnonia Ismenius Lacus. As Earth, these landforms provide important indications water dynamics processes. The Martian must active for thousands years permitted movement wave...
Mars' polar regions are covered with ice-rich layered deposits that potentially contain a record of climate variations. The sounding radar SHARAD on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mapped detailed subsurface stratigraphy in Promethei Lingula region south plateau, Planum Australe. Radar reflections interpreted as layers correlated across adjacent orbits and continuous for up to 150 kilometers along spacecraft orbital tracks. reflectors often separated into discrete reflector sequences, strong...
Venus Express is since April 11, 2006 in orbit around Venus. VIRTIS (Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer) has started only hours after insertion to collect an immense unique data set. Of special interest the wavelength range from 1–1.5 microns which includes “atmospheric windows”. By averaging several hundred multi‐spectral images obtained during mission we have been able map surface temperatures for almost whole southern hemisphere of Blurring clouds limits spatial resolution...
The ∼150 km wide Holden crater lies in an area characterized by high density of valley networks implying conditions conducive to forming water‐related environments. We undertook geological mapping and a stratigraphic survey order probe the evolution landforms their paleoenvironmental implications. Our investigations lead us propose that was subjected “wet” lacustrine phase Hesperian age “icy” during Amazonian. Deltaic, coastal, environments occurred phase, some displaying cyclic depositional...
We have investigated how morphological biosignatures (i.e., features related to life) might be identified with an array of viable instruments within the framework robotic planetary surface operations at Mars. This is first time such integrated lab-based study has been conducted that incorporates space-qualified instrumentation designed for combined in situ imaging, analysis, and geotechnics (sampling). Specimens were selected on basis feature morphology, scale, analogy Mars rocks. Two types...
