Instrument:
MGS/MOLA
Instrument:
Viking
Instrument:
FUSE
Description:
Mars with ocean - looking at Arabia Terra
Abstract:
This visualization shows how Mars might look with an ocean at -500m where the lowest point on Mars is about -8000m and the highest point is about 22000m. Data from The FUSE spacecraft and from the Mars Global Surveyor/MOLA instrument where used to support this theory.
