Take a Flight Over the Martian Surface with the ESA's Mars Express
[]
Universe Today
For more than twenty years, the Mars Express orbiter has studied the Red Planet and remains the European Space Agency's (ESA) only operational mission.
In that time, it has provided the most complete map of the Martian atmosphere and its chemical composition.
In a recently released film, the ESA's Mars Express takes viewers on a flight over Xanthe Terra, a highland region just north of the equator.
The film is a mosaic created from images taken during single-orbit observations by the Mars Express' High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC).
This channel is one of many that crisscross Xanthe Terra and adjacent regions, such as Lunae Planum, Margaritifer Terra, and others, which are part of the larger Oxia Palus quadrangle.
