Mars Express: HRSC

The HRSC (High/Super Resolution Stereo Colour Imager) is a stereoscopic camera that photographs the Martian surface to reveal detail as small as 2 m. The images are used to produce a geological map showing the location of different minerals and rock types. The HRSC Principal Investigator is Prof. Gerhard Neukum, Freie Universität, Berlin, Germany.

The primary source for HRSC data is the ESA Planetary Science Archive.

Through a cooperative agreement between ESA and NASA, the PDS Geosciences Node is hosting copies of the HRSC data archives. The PDS Imaging Node also has copies.

HRSC Radiometrically Calibrated Image Data from January 1, 2004, through December 26, 2008 (orbits 10-6398)

HRSC Map Projected Image Data from January 1, 2004, through December 26, 2008 (orbits 10-6398)

HRSC Orthophoto and DTM data from January 1, 2004 - June 8, 2006 (orbits 10 - 3096)

More information about HRSC is on the HRSC web site.
