Voyager imaging experiment Voyager imaging experiment
The overall objective of this experiment is exploratory reconnaissance of Jupiter, Saturn, their satellites, and Saturn's rings. Such reconnaissance, at resolutions and phase angles unobtainable from Earth, can be expected to provide much new data relevant to the atmospheric and/or surface properties of these bodies. The experiment also has the following specific objectives: Observe and

Viking orbital colorimetric images of Mars: Preliminary results Viking orbital colorimetric images of Mars: Preliminary results
Color reconstruction and ratios of orbital images of Mars confirm Earth-based measurements showing red/violet ratios for bright areas to be roughly 1.5 times greater than dark areas. The new results show complex variation among dark materials; dark streaks emanating from craters in southern cratered terrains are much bluer than dark materials of the north equatorial plains on which...

Preliminary results from the Viking orbiter imaging experiment Preliminary results from the Viking orbiter imaging experiment
During its first 30 orbits around Mars, the Viking orbiter took approximately 1000 photographic frames of the surface of Mars with resolutions that ranged from 100 meters to a little more than 1 kilometer. Most were of potential landing sites in Chryse Planitia and Cydonia and near Capri Chasma. Contiguous high-resolution coverage in these areas has led to an increased understanding of...

Origin of lunar light plains Origin of lunar light plains
Most Cayley-type Imbrian-age plains deposits and adjacent mantled slopes, including those at the Apollo 16 site, may be composed at least near the surface of ejecta from the Orientale basin, the youngest multiringed impact basin on the Moon. The distribution and apparent age of the plains deposits and preliminary data on the highly feldspathic breccias collected by the Apollo 16 crew...

A summary of relative ages of lunar nearside and farside plains A summary of relative ages of lunar nearside and farside plains
This report contains a summary of the moon-wide distribution of relative ages of lunar plains units determined with Apollo and Lunar Orbiter photographs. Relative ages are expressed as the largest diameter of craters (DL, meters) in a mappable unit that are eroded to a slope of 1 ° by the net accumulated flux of small impacts. New data show that the technique used here generally requires...
