The synoptic monitoring of Mars by the HST from December 13, 1990, through April 17, 1997, has resulted in the monitoring of five of the eight martian polar cap regressional cycles. This included parts of four consecutive north polar cap regressional cycles spanning Ls = 335 degrees to Ls = 144 degrees and part of the 1992 south polar cap regressional cycle spanning from Ls = 259 degrees to Ls = 284 degrees. The HST images taken before 1994 were obtained with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 1 (WFPC 1) instrument, while the ensuing observations were obtained with the improved optics of the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). The Mars observations were obtained in the spectral range from the ultraviolet (218 nm) to the near-infrared (1042 nm), which has allowed us to constrain the effects of clouds and dust particulates on cap edge measurements.
