Presentation transcript:

During its two-year primary science mission, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will conduct eight different science investigations at Mars. The investigations are functionally divided into three purposes: global mapping, regional surveying, and high-resolution targeting of specific spots on the surface. Cameras: HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) This visible camera can reveal small-scale objects in the debris blankets of mysterious gullies and details of geologic structure of canyons, craters, and layered deposits. CTX (Context Camera) This camera will provide wide area views to help provide a context for high-resolution analysis of key spots on Mars provided by HiRISE and CRISM. MARCI (Mars Color Imager) This weather camera will monitor clouds and dust storms. Spectrometer:CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars) This instrument splits visible and near-infrared light of its images into hundreds of "colors" that identify minerals, especially those likely formed in the presence of water, in surface areas on Mars not much bigger than a football field. Radiometer:MCS (Mars Climate Sounder) This atmospheric profiler will detect vertical variations of temperature, dust, and water vapor concentrations in the Martian atmosphere. Radar: SHARAD (Shallow Radar) This sounding radar will probe beneath the Martian surface to see if water ice is present at depths greater than one meter.
