Scientific paper

Examples of thermal images obtained of the Martian surface by the Thermoscan experiment on the Phobos spacecraft are presented. The thermal images from the experiment provide far higher resolution than previous data collected by Vikings 1 and 2. They provide more comprehensive data on the temperature distribution and thermal inertia of the Martian surface and its relief elements, which make it possible to search for thermal anomalies.
