The new image really brings out the number of craters - and the number of clusters of craters, and crater chains. Very much what you'd expect from incoming objects which disintegrate into a shower of debris whilst still up in the air.

And it also shows details in the Inner Basin, such as the light-toned layered outcrops south of Comanche and the dark "tendrils" of El Dorado.

What I especially like is that if you blow it right up, it looks quite a lot like my CPROTO simulation of Oppy @ Purg, which was a precursor to my simulation of HIRISE

QUOTE (djellison @ Jan 3 2006, 12:39 PM) That's what I was looking for since a long time ago! (http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...indpost&p=22880) Probably I will use it as background for the route map. Edited: For that purpose, I will need the image scale. It's stated on the release as The first picture (MOC2-1331a) shows the 2 November 2005 image with a spatial resolution of about 50 centimeters (~1.6 feet) per pixel. But "about 50 centimeters " isn't accurate enough to be useful. Usually each released image has a page with detailed info about it, but I can't find any on the MSSS site. Any help?

Well - you could infer one from overlaying an older image that does have an image scale couldnt you?
I guess you use photoshop and layers, scale the whole thing 200% - then put the new image over the top and scale it to fit you current base map perhaps? Doug |

I think - now - when we have 2 years of MER mission. So take Oppy to the dunes and let leave sheīs wheels some word on the ground. She can drive repeatly and write "MER", isnīt it?
Then MGS can photograph this from space. It would be great idea and memory to this extra mission. (sorry when you donīt understand, I talk czech usually :-) -------------------- |

QUOTE (Toma B @ Jan 4 2006, 05:49 PM) Would HiRISE be able to take full color image with it's maximum resolution of 25cm/pix? HiRise has 10 x 2,000 pixel wide CCD's for a total of 20,000 pixels image width. Those 10 all have a red filter, but the middle two CCD's also have two neigbours - a Near IR filter, and a Blue/Green filter. Thus - in the middle 4000 pixels are a pseudo colour. I made two greyscale images - one red, one the average of my simualted images Green and Blue. I treated those images as if they were a 'raw' data product and generated that simualted image from them.

(sorry when you donīt understand, I talk czech usually :-) According to some Cornell grad students working on the MER images, an artist did ask the team if they could have one of the rovers drive around to make various tire track patterns in the Martian regolith and image them afterwards. The MER team said no, be happy with the tracks we are making for science. Actually have to agree with the team there. The rovers should go for every scrap of data for every day they can move. The rovers are making art of their own sort with their images and such. They even had an exhibit at Cornell's Johnson Art Museum on that very subject last year. As I asked previously in another thread, are there any estimates for how long the tracks will remain recognizable on Mars? I am sure they will have nothing on the Apollo astronaut footprints. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
