Mercury

Information about Mercury obtained with the Mariner 10 spacecraft is summarized together with results of theoretical studies and ground-based observations. It is shown that Mercury is very likely a differentiated body, probably contains a large earthlike iron-rich core, and displays a surface similar to the moon's, which suggests a similar evolutionary history. The size and mass of Mercury are discussed along with its orbit, rotation, atmosphere, magnetic field, and magnetosphere. Surface features of Mercury are described on the basis of Mariner 10 pictures, with detailed attention given to the major physiographic provinces, the structure of the Caloris basin, the tectonic framework of the planet, crater morphology, the planet's optical and thermal properties, and cartography. The composition and structure of the interior are examined, and the thermal history of Mercury is considered. The planet's geologic history is divided into five stages or epochs: (1) accretion and differentiation, (2) terminal heavy bombardment, (3) Caloris basin formation, (4) basin flooding, and (5) postfilling lighter bombardment.

The High Visible Resolution (HVR) instrument of the spot ground observation satellite

Two identical high resolution cameras, capable of attaining a track width of 116 km in an almost vertical line of sight from the two 60 km images of each instrument, will be carried on the initial mission of the space observation of Earth satellite (SPOT). Specifications for the instrument, including the telescope and CCD devices are summarized. The present status of development is described including the optical characteristics, structure and thermal control, detector assembly, electronic equipment, and calibration. SPOT mission objectives include the developments relating to soil use, the exploration of EART Earth resources, the discrimination of plant species, and cartography.

Stereosat - A new astrodynamics challenge

The paper investigates the astrodynamics requirements for a spacecraft which produces stereo images of the land masses of the earth for use in geoscience investigations, cartography and earth resource exploration. It describes a candidate Stereosat imaging product, presents criteria for evaluating potential image quality and usability, and assesses the impact of various spacecraft and astrodynamic factors on image quality. Several challenges are identified and discussed, namely (1) securing adequate image quality for pixel level elevation measurements, (2) determining absolute location of imaged phenomena in remote regions, (3) satisfying the long-term orbit prediction requirements, and (4) transmitting accurate orbit data along with the image data stream. Meeting these challenges will greatly enhance operational facility.
