The Pathfinder mission made use of a unique capability to rapidly generate and interactively display three-dimensional photo-realistic virtual reality (VR) models of the Martian surface. The Stereo…
The Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) returned 16,000 pictures of the Ares Vallis landing site. These images have been photometrically corrected, mosaicked, and geometrically corrected into maps of…
A comparison of the MOLA topographic profile data with existing digital topography indicates the presence of both systematic and significant local and regional differences. These differences are in…
The Viking Orbiters acquired quality stereo coverage of a significant fraction of Mars in 1976-1980. Several groups have been using this stereo coverage to produce global and regional scale…
Following the successful landing of the Mars Pathfinder, DLR has carried out a comprehensive study of the Pathfinder landing site in terms of geology, mineralogy, and surface photometric properties.…
We recomputed the Viking Mars Control Point Network and derived Mars-fixed 3-dimensional coordinates of 3739 selected, globally distributed landmarks. The Mars Pathfinder coordinates and data from…
The Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) obtained 5 full panoramic sets of images, varying in color and stereo coverage and degree of data compression, from the highly compressed First Look to the…
Imagery is the major source for our current understanding of the geologic and climatologic evolution of Mars. It has the potential to drastically enhance our knowledge in the future and is an…
Viking Orbiter images were reprocessed using new techniques to produce a precision controlled, photomosaic map of the Mars Pathfinder landing site prior to landing. The difference between the…
The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission will produce a precision global geodetic control network for Mars of 30,000 - 50,000 points which will be accurate to…
