Mars Exploration Rover and Phoenix Multispectral Color Imagery - by Daniel Crotty.

Would-be interplanetary explorers can wander the surface of Mars from within their standard web browser, instead of having to download a separate software program, such as Google Earth.

The landing site of the NASA Spirit rover. The image was taken by the HRSC on Mars Express. No reference was given to the green colour when originally posted by ESA. Later the site was changed to state "the green colouring is an effect of image processing".

To ensure that the information is accurate and accessible the site was separated into two components that reflect that state of the mission before and after the July 4, 1997 landing.

Northwestern University has partnered with the Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum to bring these images to the public and to Northwestern University students and faculty. What makes these images even more compelling is that both Northwestern and the Adler Planetarium have presenting the stereo images from the rovers in their Geowall facilities, which allow people to perceive Mars in a new, realistic 3-dimensional way.

Mars Today, created by Howard Houben of the Mars Global Circulation Model Group, is a poster produced daily by the Center for Mars Exploration at NASA's Ames Research Center. The updated poster depicts current conditions on Mars and its relationship to Earth in six panels.

Use the Analyst's Notebook to explore planetary data from NASA Mars landed missions (MER and Phoenix). The Notebook combines sequence information, engineering and science data, and documentation into standard web-accessible pages to provide mission "replay". The Analyst's Notebook is produced by NASA's PDS Geosciences Node at Washington University in St. Louis.

Mars Exploration Rover Mission: Where Are the Rovers Now?

On this website you find true color images taken by the Panoramic Camera on each of the Marsrovers Spirit and Opportunity. This is how images would look like, if an astronaut on the surface of Mars took images with a 1 Megapixel digital camera and sent them back to Earth via a planet wide Internet. That means, the colors appear the same as the astronaut would see them.

The Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) first acquired images of Mars during its approach to the red planet in mid-1997. The spacecraft began orbiting Mars in September 1997. Following a period of aerobraking to achieve a nearly-circular, nearly-polar orbit, MGS began systematic mapping operations in March 1999. The primary mission was conducted for one Mars year, through January 2001. An extended mission phase followed and the spacecraft and MOC were active until 2 November 2006, when communication with the spacecraft was lost. If the spacecraft is recovered, the mission is expected to operate through at least September 2007.

More than 1,600 MOC images with captions describing their contents have been compiled and released by the MOC team at Malin Space Science Systems since 1997. The links below provide access to these captioned releases.

The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) generated altimetry profiles used to create global topographic maps. The MOLA instrument stopped acquiring altimetry data on June 30, 2001, and after that operated in passive radiometry mode until the end of the MGS mission. MOLA data sets are produced by the MOLA Science Team and archived by the PDS Geosciences Node.
