The science behind “the Rough Guide to Mars”
This project is a collaboration between scientists at the Open University, University College London and Imperial College London. Our work uses new images of Mars from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard the European Space Agency spacecraft ‘Mars Express’, currently in orbit round the red planet.
The overall goal of our work is to investigate possible habitats for life, and to understand the recent climate history of Mars. Because we can’t look back in time to see what the atmosphere was like in the past, we have to search for evidence recorded in Mars’ surface features: We have to study the geology of Mars, and in particular the geology of landforms associated with water or ice. We are also working on new ways to process and analyse spacecraft data using cutting-edge photogrammetry and computer vision techniques to retrieve unique 3D information and automatically detect surface geological structures such as craters. These aspects are essential for getting the most out of the images of the Martian surface
There are three main areas of interest in our research:
1) To determine the origin, age, volume, source and history of the newly-discovered equatorial frozen seas and ice sheets of Mars using geological interpretation of the HRSC data. Importantly, we don’t just use traditional black and white spacecraft images but also 3-D topography maps obtained using the HRSC’s stereo imaging capabilities.
2) To develop a state-of-the-art Digital Photogrammetric processing system, including digital terrain model (DTM) creation and automated crater detection to provide the finest resolution and best quality DTMs. This allows us to register our Mars pictures exactly over the shape of the terrain, essential for accurate geological studies.
3) To study river-like networks in ancient Martian terrain. We are looking at the interactions between the patterns of the channels, the boundaries between different ‘catchment’ areas, and the ages of the terrains to assess the role of liquid water at the Martian surface.

On board the Mars Express orbiter is the HRSC/SRC Camera Experiment.
It was developed under supervision of Prof. Dr. Gerhard Nekum and will map the Martian surface in full colour, in three dimensions and at high resolution. Since 25 December 2003, Mars Express is orbiting the red planet and is continuously transmitting data.
