HRSC Press Release #236 - Libya Montes (orbit 0922)
]')) RGB Colour Image #1 |
On 7 October 2004 the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard the ESA spacecraft Mars Express obtained image data in orbit 922. The data were acquired in the region of Libya Montes, south of the Isidis Planitia impact basin, at equatorial latitudes near 81° eastern longitude.

The images show the central reaches of a 400 km long valley which was carved into the surface in early Martian history, approximately 3.5 billion years ago. The central parts of the broad valley show traces of an interior valley which documents that flowing water has once formed the surface of the planet during periods of wetter climate.

Jaumann (DLR) und seinen Kollegen veröffentlicht (Constraints on fluvial erosion by measurements of the Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera, Geophys. Res.

Details on valley formation have been published in "Geophysical Research Letters" by R. Jaumann (DLR) and colleagues (Constraints on fluvial erosion by measurements of the Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera, Geophys. Res. Lett., 32, L16203, doi:10.1029/2005GL023415).
]')) Red-cyan anaglyph #1 |
The colour scenes have been derived from the three HRSC-colour channels and the nadir channel. The perspective views have been calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels. The anaglyph image was calculated from the nadir and one stereo channel. The black and white high resolution images were derived form the nadir channel which provides the highest detail of all channels.
