The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) imaging experiment onboard the Mars Express (MEX) mission to be launched in 2003 will provide unique high-resolution multispectral stereo images. A Super-Resolution Channel (SRC) will obtain very high-resolution images (2.3 m/pixel) within the context of the HRSC nadir swath. Here, we present the instrument characteristics and imaging modes of the SRC, and we outline the capabilities of HRSC/SRC to support rover operations of the MER 2003 mission, to characterize the landing site properties, and to provide information on the wider geological context of the landing sites. At the workshop, we will also give an overview of the current activities of the HRSC Science Team to select target sites to be imaged during the nominal operational lifetime of the mission of 1 Martian year.
