NASA's Global Surveyor adds to its Martian photo album NASA/JPL NEWS RELEASE Posted: May 8, 2002
The latest images to be added to the online archive are from the first phase of the Mars Global Surveyor extended mission, which began February 1, 2001. Regions that were poorly covered during the primary mapping mission due to regional dust storms have now been captured. The latest images include sand dunes on Mars' north polar cap and a 3-D image of layered rock that resembles the topography of Arizona and Utah. Also included are two dramatic global views of Mars. The first view shows the modest yet impressive beginnings of a regional dust storm, while the other shows the planet's geographical features almost completely obscured by multiple dust storms. The images are available at: http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/E01_E06_sampler2002/. Mars Global Surveyor is managed by the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington,
D.C. JPL is a division of the California Institute of
Technology in Pasadena. The camera system is operated by Malin
Space Science Systems, San Diego, Calif.
