Scientific paper

Mars is accessible to HST for the 13 months of its 26 month synodic cycle when Mars is more than 50 degrees from the sun. The current period of observations commenced in early August and will continue through the end of Cycle 4; Cycle 5 includes only the last two months of this period. We propose to follow the observing strategy adopted in Cycle 4 for these observations. This strategy involved monitoring the Syrtis Major face of Mars using five UV and visible filters every month with occasional global sequences which include targets separated by 120 degrees of longitude. We also propose to add several filters to our Cycle 5 observations in order to accommodate the addition of Jim Bell, who is a Co-I on Dr. David Crisp's Cycle 4 GT program, to our team. These observations will allow him to continue his study of the mineralology of martian surface units. Finally, in order to complete our search for a putative dust ring in Mars' equatorial plane, we propose a pair of observations scheduled in July, 1995 when the ring plane in tilted maximally towards earth.
