The study of ejecta blankets on Mars gives information about the Martian surface, subsurface, geologic history, atmospheric history, and impact process. In Feb. and Mar. 1989, the Termoskan instrument on board the Phobos 1988 spacecraft of the USSR acquired the highest spatial resolution thermal data ever obtained for Mars, ranging in the resolution from 300 meters to 3 km per pixel. Termoskan simultaneously obtained broad band visible channel data. The data covers a large portion of the equatorial region from 30 degrees S latitude to 6 degrees N latitude. Utilizing the data set we have discovered tens of craters with thermal infrared distinct ejecta (TIDE) in the equatorial regions of Mars. In order to look for correlations within the data, we have compiled a database which currently consists of 110 craters in an area rich in TIDE's and geologic unit variations. For each crater, we include morphologic information from Barlow's Catalog of Large Martian Impact Craters in addition to geographic, geologic, and physical information and Termoskan thermal infrared and visible data.
