Mars Comes Alive With Photo Archive

For the past three years Mars Global Surveyor has been imaging Mars providing us with thousands of images that are transforming our knowledge of Mars - NASA/MSSS image - Desktop Available

Pasadena - Oct. 16, 2000
The imaging team of NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has doubled the number of Mars pictures available to the public with the release of a new archive of red planet pictures totally slightly more than 30,000 images.

The archive contains all the pictures that were taken by Mars Global Surveyor from September 1999 through February 2000 and includes the images that were taken to search for the Mars Polar Lander spacecraft. No evidence of the lander was ever seen.

The archive also covers the period of south polar cap retreat through southern spring and into early summer. This includes changes observed on the south polar cap's "Swiss cheese" surfaces, among others.
