Busy preparing a new Outreach talk here, and have been trying to find some images to illustrate the "power" of HiRISE for a non-technical audience. Playing about with - sorry, carefully looking at the images on - the addictive Mars Global Data site I found a cute landslide on Xanthe Terra that does the trick nicely. Using the IAS Viewer you can zoom in on the boulders carried down the slope by the landslide and even see cracks and splits in them... unbelievable...!

I should add, for those who are interested in CRISM, that the same presentation said the following about future CRISM operations:
"Plan: Use full VNIR/IR capability for 2 weeks every other month in mini-campaigns focused on high priority items(especially during periods of higher data rate) --VNIR-only mode can be used at other times (but avoid major dust events) -----VNIR (0.4 to 1.1 micrometer) aqueous mineral signatures are limited to ferric minerals Bottom Line: Full-resolution VNIR/IR targeting reserved for high priority targets" It's sad to see the instrument in decline, but cryocoolers like CRISM's are hard working pieces of machinery that can't be expected to last forever. They sure did a good job until now, though. |
