Dear Nosca,
From the highest volcano to the deepest canyon, from impact
craters to ancient river beds and lava flows, this showcase of images
from the
European Space Agency's Mars Express takes you on an
unforgettable journey across the Red Planet.
Mars Express was launched on June 2, 2003 and arrived at Mars
six-and-a-half months later. It has since orbited the planet nearly
12,500 times, providing scientists with unprecedented images and data
collected by its suite of scientific instruments.
The data have been used to create an almost global digital topographic
model of the surface, providing a unique visualization and enabling researchers
to acquire new and surprising information about the evolution of the
Red Planet. (4 minutes)
