The high resolution instruments on board the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) provide the necessary data to survey the Martian topographic surface in the finest detail so far [Albee, et al, 2002]. However,…
We describe our initial experiences producing controlled digital elevation models (DEMs) of Mars with horizontal resolutions of ≤10 m and vertical precisions of ≤2 m. Such models are of intense…
The current Mars Global Survey (MGS) mission has been collecting high resolution digital images (MOC) and laser ranges (MOLA). The processing MOLA range data results in a global digital elevation…
Launched in 1996, Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) carries two types of mapping equipments: Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) and Mar Orbiter Camera (MOC). MOLA collects accurate laser altimetry data…
