The Stereo Mapping Performance of the HRSC in Mars Orbit — •J. Oberst1, T. Roatsch1, B. Giese1, M. Wählisch1, F. Scholten1, K. Gwinner1, K.-D. Matz1, E. Hauber1, H. Hoffmann1, R. Jaumann1, G. Neukum2, and HRSC Co-Investigator Team1 — 1German Aerospace Center, Berlin — 2Freie Universität Berlin
The ESA spacecraft Mars Express was successfully launched from Baikonur on June 2, 2003, and is scheduled to begin its mapping of Mars early next year (Neukum et al., this conference). The spacecraft is equipped with HRSC (High-Resolution Stereo Camera), a multiple line scanner operated in the pushbroom mode. The camera has nine CCD line sensors for imaging at high resolution (10 m from an orbit pericenter of 250 km) in color, and in stereo. In addition, the SRC (Super Resolution Channel) will obtain images at very high resolution (approx. 2 m/pixel). HRSC has been specifically designed for 3-D-mapping of the planet with high precision. Over the past 12 years, we have developed a comprehensive system of software for processing, analysis, and interpretation of HRSC three-line stereo images, an effort, which was carried out together with external partners.
By the time of the conference, we expect to show sample photogrammetric products, derived from HRSC images, and will present an assessment of the camera’s potential for geoscientific mapping of the planet’s different terrain types. We expect that the data products from HRSC/SRC will stimulate major advancements in the geology and geophysics of Mars.
