Description


You'll need to view this in clockwise sequence. The terrain is from a MOLA image of Mars (-0.3740 latitude to 118.6885 longitude) imported via 3DEM into Terragen for rendering. The background PW is from an old National Geographic scan image I had. MOLA is the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter, an instrument currently in orbit around Mars on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft. The instrument transmits infrared laser pulses towards Mars at a rate of 10 Hz and measures the time of flight to determine the range of the MGS spacecraft to the Martian surface. Range measurements have used to construct a precise topographic map of Mars that has many applications to studies in geophysics, geology and atmospheric circulation. MOLA also functions as a passive radiometer, and is currently measuring the radiance of the surface of Mars at 1064 nm. Recently there was a spoof travelling around on the Internet, that Mars was the closest on 27th August 2005 and the next time it would come this close would be in the year 2287.
