I don't think we're expecting this stuff to be particular high res are we?
Then again - 400km was one suggested altitude at the time of taking, what are we talking, a nominal 60cm/pixel? Doug |

Depends on your definition of high res I suppose. The blog says:
"The first image is 2.5 meters per pixel. The fourth image will be about 1.5 meters per pixel." Chris |

Honestly, I am as excited about HiRISE imagery as I was about the rovers landing.
It's just all SUCHHH good stuff  Doug |

QUOTE (mcaplinger @ Mar 23 2006, 09:12 PM)  It's MRO time. One-way light time is 13m02s but the data playback will take several hours, so I wouldn't expect any data until 2 AM PST at the earliest, and probably not until even later. Thanks--I was wondering about the predicted ground track from 04:41 to 04:50. Here's what I get:  The main feature there is Argyre Planitia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyre_Planitia Note smiley-face crater at right. AKA Galle Crater. Nice coincidence considering this item: "Happy Face" Crater Greets MGS at the Start of the Mapping Mission -- March 1999 So Galle is the official greeter? -------------------- |

A bit more of a warp.

QUOTE the HiRISE images should be approved and released by NASA some time this afternoon (March 24). -Loretta, HiROC Webmaster Given the recent directives on openness policy from NASA HQ, is this delay really necessary?  One thinks it would have been possible to get advance clearance on a newsworthy item like this. I guess they'll get their procedures straightened out in the next six months before the real data begins to come down.

Chill - these things take time. We've waited since the launch in August for these first images, another day or two isn't going to kill anyone.

The White House has to verify that the images don't undermine creationism, & have NASA change all Mars references to "Mars theory."

QUOTE (chris @ Mar 24 2006, 02:37 AM) That fuzzy image of a screen in the control room is clearer than the images that the first mariner probe sent back. How far we have come. Chris LOL, control room  I think that's just the projection screen in our lobby area.I'm glad to see this all work out for Alfred and his HiRISE crew. I'm certainly not a Mars person by any stretch of the imagination, but I can understand the excitement they must be feeling. I remember when we got our first close-up Titan images in October 2004, I stayed up all night processing images, not because I had to, but because I wanted to see what each image actually showed. Great times.... -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
