Scientific paper

The first results on the surface minerology of Mars and Phobos and on the atmospheric composition of Mars obtained with the infrared imaging spectrometer ISM are presented. The amounts of CO and H2O are evaluated using 15 averaged spectra at various altitudes on Olympus Mons. Values for the albedo and redness of the Martian surface are reported. The ISM spectra of Mars exhibit a broad and intense absorption feature from 2.7 to 3.14 microns which is attributed to the presence of hydrated minerals. The strength of this signal is evaluated.
