I've uploaded an example raw, as well as a processed image by landru79

Olympus Mons, imaged by Hope on February 26, 2021.



Contrast increased:


And a rotated and cropped version:

Picture taken by Hope on 27 February 2021. The image is centered on the south-east side of Isidis Planitia. We see Elysium Mons near the limb.

Very nice, Thomas. You have done some very nice work with the Hope images. I always like to stretch the contrast at the terminator to see what might be found, and here we see some nice pre-dawn clouds north of Jezero crater.

Thanks Phil, and really nice contrasted version! Is Jezero the crater just near the terminator?

[Phil Stooke]

I think that visible crater is Peridier, which can be found on this map:

Jezero would be right on the terminator and further south.

A crescent Mars imaged by Hope on 28 February 2021. We see Elysium Mons, Gale crater and even Mount Sharp!

Just had an email from the Emirates Mars Mission people:

-----------------------
Dear EMM data user,

EMM Science Data Center team is delighted to announce the second release of the EMM scientific products. The released data includes scientific products from the three instruments on-board the probe; EXI, EMUS and EMIRS.

The released data includes observations collected between May 24, 2021 and Aug 31, 2021 as well as new version/revision of the data already released previously during the first data release. The levels of data release that are released for each instrument shown below:

EXI: L1, L2a, QL
EMUS: L1, L2a, L2b
EMIRS: L1a, L1b, L2, L2ql, L3emiss

The new data freely available and accessible through the mission science data center website: https://sdc.emiratesmarsmission.ae

What do people feel is missing from the Science Data Center (https://sdc.emiratesmarsmission.ae)? Additional product description? Missing documentation? Changes to search interface?

Thanks a lot mwolff

If I may recommend, please (I'm building a lot of outreach campaigns for National non-profit organizations in France):

1. A download option from the "EXI Quicklook" page to directly retrieve the full-res images (PNG and/or JPEG formatted) is really missing.
This would help a lot to download full-res images by clicking on the quicklook images;

2. A color code on the "EXI Quicklook" page showing the filters with which the images were taken should be added also, and especially for blue/green/red images from which full color images can be built, (i.e. for example, blue/green/red bars for the blue/green/red filters).

All this would help a lot for UAE HOPE mission outreach and for educational purposes also

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

xos2 = 16x16 summing
xos1 = 2x2 for all, but 4x4 for RGB
xos4 = 2x2 for UV, 1x1 for RGB (but only taken once per week).

any suggestions that would help you here?
