Regarding DTMs, don't forget there's Mars HRSC coverage of this area too.

This may have been asked before, but does anyone know whether MARSIS or SHARAD might be capable of mapping the contact between the Meridiani sandstones and the underlying basement rock?

Speaking of shorelines, I'm sure most of you know that there is yet another recent paper indicating the presence of lakes on Mars. Here's the link:

For fans of Iazu crater here's a Google Earth overlay of moc frame m1001349.
Iazu_Crater__MOC_Image_m1001349_.kml ( 646bytes )
Number of downloads: 523It's not sourced from a map projected version of the image so the registration isn't as great as it could be but when crudely draped over topography data it does give an OK overview of the differences between the older, shallower Endeavour and the younger pedestal crater to the south. Check out that deep stack of sediments at Iazu's north rim! Why not use a proper map projected version of the image? Because then I'd either have to put up with a conspicuous frame or set the frame to be transparent. Doing the latter would require altering the image file, so I would no longer be able to link to an image already available online! |

I think we can barely see a new part of Endeavour in these navcams just on the left of "Cook":
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...G6P1994L0M1.JPG http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...NVP1994L0M1.JPG Waiting for pancams. I think a peak north of "Cook" could match (far rim  or east rim) . Any idea Rui or James ?

P1994 is a single frame, single eye navcam frame I asked to take at the end of each drive since we left Duck Bay. Every drive sol in the same direction, roughly pointed at Endeavour.

Any idea Rui or James ?I think you are right, there does appear to be a faint hint of a feature 6 - 8 degrees from the north end of Cook. Measuring the angles I think it correlates to this on the HRSC image:
In Google Earth this does look to be the next highest feature on the east rim after Cook. James -------------------- |

I've been collecting these L0 navcam frames and was meaning to ask about them. Do they serve a purpose such as photometry/sky imaging/characterizing the terrain under uniform lighting/etc, or are they just providing a regular view of the approaching rim of endeavour?
Btw, the R0 navcam jpeg frames from the jpl site are always cleaner than the L0 frames. This R0 frame shows a similar view to those two L0 frames: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...EZP0705R0M1.JPG I think there is a very subtle feature there. |

Nope, their sole goal is to document the approach to Endeavour. I'm sure someone can make scientific use of it, but the idea was just that, documentation of the approach.

A very good idea Paolo. At what horizontal distance from the highest rim will the frame be filled from top to bottem on the Navcams ?
