Scientific paper

Mars will be observable by HST during most of Cycle 6. This is an especially important period because Mars Pathfinder and Mars Global Surveyor will be in cruise phase during this time. We have included the landing site for Pathfinder in our WFPC2 targets to provide a record of the atmosphere and surface in the region during the ten months preceding the landing. We propose to continue our synoptic monitoring of Mars which commenced in Cycle 0 to record seasonal changes in the clouds and opacity of the martian atmosphere as well as changes in the albedos and spectra of surface units on the planet. The significant overlap between the four years of observations will permit a study of inerannual variability in clouds, aerosols, and surface features. Three final FOS scans to complete that data set are also requested.
