Between August 1994 and August 1995 we obtained images of Mars using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field/Planetary Camera-2 (WFPC2), with P.B. James as the PI of our General Observer proposal team. Most of the images were obtained in 5 filters (F255W, F336W, F410M, F502N, F673N) approximately once per month during the times when Mars was greater than 50 degrees from the Sun. More frequent coverage was obtained in these five filters around the time of opposition in February 1995, and four additional wavelengths (LRF7400, LRF8600, F953N, F1042M) were added for the imaging performed in July and August 1995. The primary goal of this HST observing campaign is synoptic monitoring of Mars atmospheric and surface phenomena. Initial results from these observations have recently been reported. The primary focus of the work reported here is on the continuing analysis and interpretation of the images with emphasis on determining and mapping Mars surface mineralogy.
