APL-Built Mineral-Mapping Imager Begins Mission at Mars
JHU/APL For Immediate Release September 27, 2006 See also A.J.S. Rayl's story at TPS. EDIT: I changed the topic title because, as I understand it from the press release, the cover was opened, not jettisoned. This post has been edited by AlexBlackwell: Sep 28 2006, 04:48 PM |

Given the silence of late from the CRISM folks at Johns Hopkins APL, might it be worthwhile to contact some of the staff there to see what can be done to improve their public visibility.
Hopkins is a first rate school, (it hosts the Hubble STScI on its campus) and could get some good press if the folks at APL got their act together. Steve |

Steve Processing CRISM data is enormously more complicated than for HiRISE. A major task is separating the true spectra of the Martian surface from atmospheric spectral contributions. It's the kind of thing they'll probably be refining for years in mathematical theories. That said, I agree that they should be making a greater effort to share their progress with the public, even if it means releasing only intermediate-stage data. A HiBlog style blog would be most welcome. |
