When looking at the pop-up quicklook page for an image - a row of download links to the various levels of calibrated FITS files rather than having to jump from the quicklook to the 'find related data' and the select and hit download on a specific L2A product would make it a little easier.
Also - the quicklook page having more search tools ( i.e. show me all the xos4 mode images in these three wavelengths from Date X to Date Y ) would be useful as well. But this is all nitpicking - it's a great repository - and the weekly RGB xos4 image are spectacular. |

Dear Viking, thank you for the excellent suggestions. I have previewed the public page again to jog my memory. I will submit 1 and 2 today, thank you. What do you think of a Magnify Glass icon for the higher resolution data? The problem is this though any suggestions that would help you here? --mike Dear Mike, Thanks a lot for your kind answer, much appreciated In fact, a download option for full resolution images in readily viewable formats (such as 'JPEG' and/or 'PNG') would be already a great improvement to raise interest in the widest public audience possible for this spectacular mission. A 'Magnify Glass icon', would be an interesting improvement too, but I think that it is not an essential one: by downloading high resolution images on your computer, you can zoom on them directly on your screen. Thanks a lot in advance in advance for submitting those improvements and with warmest regards, Olivier (aka 'Vikingmars') |

David and Olivier -- I have asked for some features to be added QL page...and the ability to add some descriptive text. I will post when I am told that these are available. regards, mike David and Olivier -- I have asked for some features to be added QL page...and the ability to add some descriptive text.

Dear Olivier -- There may be some confusion, or the page has updated and didn't realize it. On the EXI Quicklook page, when you selelect multiple Quicklook files to download, they are coming down at the resolution that they were obtained. It is a question of the file type. xos2 are binned 16x16 to begin; xos1 are 2x2 binning (4x4 for B and G), BUT we wre using a region of interest, so the size of the image can be smaller that half of the detector...but at the resolution of the original observation. xos4 will have RGB at native resolution. i have asked for a pulldown to select a specific XOSn for quick looks (among other options). cordialement, mike In fact, a download option for full resolution images in readily viewable formats (such as 'JPEG' and/or 'PNG') would be already a great improvement to raise interest in the widest public audience possible for this spectacular mission. |

still working with developers on this. there is more flexibiliy on the general data page, but I am pushing for more capability on the Quicklook page itself.

This is very exciting to me. Phobos has been imaged thoroughly but Deimos is still very poorly covered. At least 30% of Deimos has only been seen in one single image (below), most of it with high sun angle (low phase), so no stereo for topography (the stereo pair image was hopelessly overexposed) and very poor knowledge of the terrain morphology. That big gap in the shape model means its shape is still poorly determined compared to many comparable objects. This new imaging campaign is very welcome and Hope is the only current mission with a chance of doing this. Looking forward to the results! A nice precursor to MMX.

Phil, that image is MEX or MRO-HiRise?

Viking Orbiter 1 image 507a01. Here is a larger version:
Neither MEX nor MRO can get round the back of Deimos to view this region. Since Viking, only India's MOM has seen this region and that was at VERY low resolution. The bright spot on the limb at about 11 o'clock is a crater which has only ever been seen by Viking in this image and by Mariner 9. That's how poor our imaging coverage is.

New images from the Deimos flyby (with Mars in the background!) released
Observations apparently favour an origin as part of Mars, instead of being captured asteroids... |
