HRSC Press Release #327 - Aeolis Mensae (orbit 4136, 4147)
|
Perspektive #2 [8] |
On 26 and 29 March 2007 the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), under the leadership of the Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Gerhard Neukum of Freie Universitaet Berlin, onboard the ESA spacecraft Mars Express obtained image data in orbits 4136 and 4147 with a ground resolution of approximately 13 meters per pixel. The data were acquired in the region of Aeolis Mensae at approximately 6° southern latitude and 145° eastern longitude. The sun illuminates the scene from the west (from right in the image).

The region Aeolis Mensae is located at the so-called global crustal dichotomy boundary of the northern plains and the southern highlands, close to the volcanic region of Elysium. It is characterized by an extensive transition zone which exhibits clod shaped uprisings and intermediated graben features, the so-called fretted terrain. The average difference in elevation of northern plains and southern highlands is approximately 3000 meters. The origin of this dichotomy is still being debated.

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.

The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) experiment on the ESA Mars Express Mission is led by the Principal Investigator (PI) Prof. Dr. Gerhard Neukum who also designed the camera technically. The science team of the experiment consists of 40 Co-Investigators from 33 institutions and 10 nations. The camera was developed at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) under the leadership of the PI G. Neukum and built in cooperation with industrial partners (EADS Astrium, Lewicki Microelectronic GmbH and Jena-Optronik GmbH). The experiment on Mars Express is operated by the DLR Institute of Planetary Research, through ESA/ESOC. The systematic processing of the HRSC image data is carried out at DLR. The scenes shown here were created by the PI-group at the Institute for Geological Sciences of the Freie Universitaet Berlin in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin.
