Another Mars color conspiracy? ;-)

[exoscientist]

The title is meant tongue-in-cheek, but I am a little annoyed that there still has not been color imagining of the Mars gullies or dark streaks by either Mars Express or Mars Odyssey:<br /><br />36th Lunar And Planetary Science Conference, Abstracts on line.<br />http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=680&st=15<br /><br /> Bob Clark<br /><br /> cf.:<br /><br />Newsgroups: sci.astro, alt.sci.planetary, sci.astro.amateur <br />From: rgregorycl...@yahoo.com (Robert Clark)<br />Date: 4 Dec 2003 12:13:36 -0800 <br />Local: Thurs,Dec 4 2003 3:13 pm <br />Subject: Color image of Mars from Mars Express.<br />http://groups-beta.google.com/group/sci.astro.amateur/msg/ceaf790f6aa4b68c<br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

And the big deal is?<br /><br />THEMIS isn't going to tell you anthing that MOC won't because of its m,uch lower resolution.<br /><br />HRSC has imaged slope streaks although HRSC, with two visible and one near IR bands, can only produce false colour composites.<br /><br />See the high res of http://search.esa.int/queryIG.html?col=mmg&ht=0&qp=&qs=&qc=&pw=100%25&ws=1&la=en&si=0&fs=&op0=%2B&fl0=ContentType%3A&ty0=p&tx0=Image&op1=%2B&fl1=category%3A&ty1=p&tx1=&op2=%2B&fl2=showcase%3A&ty2=p&tx2=SEMU775V9ED&qt=&ex=&rq=0&oq=&searchType=general&qm=0&ql=a&tipo=Image&showcase=Mars+Express&st=2&nh=1&lk=3&rf=3 for streaks (and gullies of a sort) <br /><br />http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM9YX2IU7E_1.html for gullies<br /><br />Jon <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Whether we become a multi-planet species with unlimited horizons, or are forever confined to Earth will be decided in the twenty-first century amid the vast plains, rugged canyons and lofty mountains of Mars</em>  Arthur Clarke</p> </div>

Here's an example of what I'm looking for but in color:<br /><br />Nirgal Vallis (Released 27 March 2002).<br />http://themis.la.asu.edu/zoom-20020327a.html<br /><br /> This is a *single* filter image of the gullies. But there have been many THEMIS releases of multi-filter images, just not of the gullies or dark streaks.<br /> <br /><br /> Bob Clark <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
