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 |

At the AGU meeting last week, CRISM PI Scott Murchie showed CRISM data from Nili Fossae and Mawrth Vallis, which confirm the OMEGA findings of clays, but at much higher spatial resolution. The real strength of CRISM is going to be the ability to correlate spectral features with distinct geologic units at ~20 m/pix. In addition Scott also showed ice-rich and ice-poor regions in the polar layered deposits. Team members Frank Seelos and Kim Seelos also presented posters showing data from the CRISM global coverage mode, focusing on the north polar cap and potential Phoenix landing sites. Not much to report in terms of composition there yet.
