Description
Medium resolution session (~25 km / pixel) from circular orbit (altitude of Phobos).
Eastern part of Valles Marineris and Aurorae Planum, from Melas chasma, Eos and Capri chasmata, to chaotic terrains in Xanthe Terra.

AURorae | 12/03 | 3007 | 121 x 25 | 11:30-15:10 | 0.9° – 5.5° | 70° | 11.2° | 1.585 |
Orbit
Mean distance (km) | Eccentricity | Inclination (°) | W (°) | w (°) | Time & day of pericenter |
9678.80 | 0.002493 | 1.0051 | 86.377 | 130.265 | 21:42:25 11/3/1989 |
Special corrections
- Dark current file: fond1403.dg2
- Gain = 2
- Focal plane temperature = -76.2 °C
- Shift in coordinates: Dlong = -1.2°, Dlat = 0.5°
- Orbital parameters are not precisely known, and may have change during acquisition. Therefore, there could be a problem of projection at the eastern end, but the reference altimetry data available at the time (Mariner and Viking) are not reliable either in this region.
