Topography of Closed Depressions, Scarps, and Grabens in the North Tharsis Region of Mars: Implications for Shallow Crustal Discontinuities and Graben Formation

Using Viking Orbiter images, detailed photoclinometric profiles were obtained across irregular depressions, fretted fractures, troughs and pits, solitary scarps, and simple grabens in the north Tharsis region of Mars. This data allows inferences to be made on the shallow crustal structure of this region. Topographical data obtained for Mars is discussed in relation to mechanical discontinuities.

Mars Pathfinder Science Investigations and Objectives

Pathfinder's primary ojective is to demonstrate an inexpensive system for curise, entry, descent, and landing on mars. Additional objective include the deployent and operation of various science instruments: a stereoscopic imager with filters on a pop up mast, and alpha proton x-ray spectometer (APXS), and an atmospheric structure instrument/meteorology package

Mesur Pathfinder: Steps Toward U.S. Return To The Surface Of Mars

The Mars Environmental Survey (MESUR) project has been established to deliver and emplace a network of small landers on Mars. A key requisite for this mission is the development of a low cost, simple, robust delivery system for payloads to the Martian surface.
