QUOTE he latest results from Mars Express reveal that the surface of the red planet is much more diverse than previously thought, with evidence for the presence of hydrated sulphates, silicates and various rock-forming minerals. Space scientists working on the European Space Agency mission have just analysed the first nine months of data from the OMEGA instrument and published six papers that give the first detailed inventory of the entire Martian surface. Last year Mars Express identified frozen water at both the north and south poles of the planet.

Mars Kasei Valles
MEX has released a great mosaic image. In the Kasei Valles, one can clearly see that flood events carved the channel system on Mars covering 1.55 million square kilometres. The mosaic is made up of 67 images taken with the spacecraft’s high-resolution stereo camera and is released during the week of the 10th anniversary of the spacecraft’s launch to the Red Planet. The web page is here. -------------------- --
