McEwen 2010 <p><span>The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) acquired 8</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>terapixels of data in 9137 images of Mars between October 2006 and December 2008, covering ∼0.55% of the surface. Images are typically 5–6</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>km wide with 3-color coverage over the central 20% of the swath, and their scales usually range from 25 to 60</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>cm/pixel. Nine hundred and sixty stereo pairs were acquired and more than 50&nbsp;digital terrain models&nbsp;(DTMs) completed; these data have led to some of the most significant science results. New methods to measure and correct distortions due to pointing jitter facilitate topographic and&nbsp;change-detection&nbsp;studies at sub-meter scales. Recent results address Noachian&nbsp;bedrock stratigraphy, fluvially deposited fans in craters and in or near Valles Marineris,&nbsp;groundwater flow&nbsp;in fractures and&nbsp;porous media, quasi-periodic layering in polar and non-polar deposits, tectonic history of west Candor Chasma, geometry of clay-rich deposits near and within Mawrth Vallis, dynamics of flood lavas in the Cerberus Palus region, evidence for&nbsp;pyroclastic deposits, columnar jointing in&nbsp;lava flows, recent collapse pits, evidence for water in well-preserved impact craters, newly discovered large rayed craters, and glacial and&nbsp;periglacial processes. Of particular interest are ongoing processes such as those driven by the wind, impact cratering, avalanches of dust and/or frost, relatively bright deposits on steep gullied slopes, and the dynamic seasonal processes over&nbsp;polar regions. HiRISE has acquired hundreds of large images of past, present and potential future&nbsp;landing sites&nbsp;and has contributed to scientific and engineering studies of those sites. Warming the focal-plane electronics prior to imaging has mitigated an instrument anomaly that produces bad data under cold operating conditions.</span></p> application/pdf 10.1016/j.icarus.2009.04.023 en Elsevier The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) during MRO's Primary Science Phase (PSP) article
