Mars Express: HRSC

February 23, 2024. Map-projected image data (V4) have been added, with coverage from January 1 through April 23, 2023.

February 23, 2024. New radiometrically calibrated data have been added, with coverage through December 14, 2023.

Version 3 of the HRSC map-projected dataset is being superseded by a version 4 dataset. The new version is based on version 4 of the radiometrically calibrated images. The revision details are described in chapter 2.4 of the HRSC EAICD in the document directory of each volume. In addition, the JPEG 2000 images in the version 3 dataset have been replaced by GeoTiff versions that are located in the EXTRAS subdirectory.

The version 4 dataset is being divided into multiple volumes based on mission phase as has been done for the radiometrically calibrated dataset. The new data products will be released from the most recent mission phase (extended mission eight) and going backward in time to the beginning of the mission. The version 3 map projected dataset will be transferred to the NSSDCA deep archive for permanent backup storage and taken offline at the Geosciences Node about 6 months after the complete set of version 4 volumes is available.

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 Dr. Thomas Roatsch, DLR, Thomas.Roatsch@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.

Version 3 of the HRSC radiometrically calibrated images have been superseded by version 4 products. The revision details are described in chapter 2.4 of the HRSC EAICD in the document directory of each volume. The version 3 data have been transferred to the NSSDCA deep archive for permanent backup storage.

More information about HRSC is on the HRSC web site.
