Arabia Terra, Mars: Evaluation of Potential Target Sites for the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Bord the Mars Express Mission (original) (raw)

The paper evaluates potential target sites in the Arabia Terra quadrangle on Mars for imaging with the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) aboard the Mars Express mission. It discusses the geological diversity of the region and emphasizes the significance of HRSC in illuminating various geological processes, such as impact events and fluvial activity. With around 80 potential sites analyzed, the study outlines imaging strategies that take into account geological characteristics, lighting conditions, and data volume considerations.
