The Mars Map combines more than 3,000 observations, produced by Hope’s on board EXI instrument. The global photographic map not only showcases new images of the Red Planet from the perspective of the Hope probe, but is a testament to the UAE’s huge advancements in the field of science, and will be a valuable resource to motivate young people to pursue careers in STEM disciplines in the UAE. The EXI is a state-of-the-art imaging system on-board the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM), also known as Hope or Al-Amal, which is currently orbiting Mars. Horizontally and the contrast is very low.Abu Dhabi, UAE: NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) group leader and research scientist Dimitra Atri from the Center for Space Science and his team have created a never-seen-before map of Mars, using images exclusively created from the Emirates Exploration Imager (EXI). Images as originally released by the project - note the orientation is flipped This shows the MGS strip and the equivalent section of Viking 1 Orbiter frame Orbit: 220 Range: 444.21 km Resolution: 4.32 m/pixel Image dimensions: 1024 X 19200 pixels, 4.42 km X 82.94 km Line time: 0.69 msec Emission angle: 44.66 degrees Incidence angle: 64.96 degrees Phase angle: 61.97 degrees Scan rate: ~0.1 degree/sec Start time: periapsis + 375 sec Image acquired: Sun 05 April 1998 UT 08:39:37 (04:39:37 EDT, 00:39:37 PST) There appears to be haze orĬydonia Region Enhanced Image Image information Image shown above (70A13) was taken under late afternoon lighting conditionsĪnd has a resolution of about 43 meters/pixel. The image was taken from a distance of 444 km at an oblique angleĪnd has a resolution of 4.3 meters per pixel. The morning sun was 25 degrees above the horizon of Mars at the time the image (located at approximately 40.8 N, 9.6 W) on 5 April 1998. Mars Global Surveyor acquired a high-resolution 4.4 km x 41.5 km swath of theĬydonia Mense region of Mars, including the feature known as the "Face on Mars" MGS image shown beside Viking 1 Orbiter Image 70A13 for comparisonįull Resolution Enhanced Image (238K TIFF) Per pixel, and was acquired at nearly a vertical viewing angle (2.35 degrees).
The high resolution image has scale of 2.5 m (8.2 feet) This offset,Īpproximately 3.13 km (1.9 mi) in longitude, is greater than one-half of theįield-of-view (FOV = 2.6 km or 1.6 mi), and there is very little if any overlap between the Owing to spacecraft pointing control limitations, theĪctual area imaged was centered at 40.84 N, 9.98 W. The MGS spacecraft attempted to image an area known as the "City" centeredĪt 40.86 N, 9.91 W. Orbit: 239 Range: 331.07 km Resolution: 2.5 m/pixel Image dimensions: 1024 X 9600 pixels, 2.5 km x 24 km Line time: 0.35 msec Emission angle: 2.35 degrees Incidence angle: 66.77 degrees Phase angle: 68.81 degrees Scan rate: ~0.15 degree/sec Start time: periapsis + 375 sec Image acquired: Tue 14 April 1998 UT 14:02:17 Next to this are shown the imaging parameters for The area imaged is shown as the white box The second and third images show the top andīottom of the swath, respectively.
