The European Space Agency
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 Ralf Jaumann, DLR, Ralf.Jaumann@dlr.de.

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.
