Scientific paper

The HRSC camera experiment onboard the European Mars Express mission has the ambitious goal to cover at least 50% of the Martian surface at a spatial resolution of better 20 m/pixel during the nominal operational lifetime of one Martian year. More than 70% of the Martian surface shall be observed at a spatial resolution of better 40 m/pixel, while more than 1% of the surface will be imaged at about 2.5 m/pixel. During each observation session, imaging data of a specific site will be obtained nearly simultaneously at high resolution, with along-track triple stereo, with four colours, and at five different phase angles by the HRSC multiple-line scanner experiment. An additional Super-Resolution Channel (HRSC-SRC) will yield nested-in images in the meter-range thus serving as the sharpening eye for detailed investigations. To optimise the scientific return and maximise the image coverage of Mars, the HRSC Co-Investigator Team has elaborated a comprehensive list of geoscientific targets and atmospheric observation tasks which serves as the basis for HRSC operations planning. The work for the master science plan for Mars Express is actually in progress. Most of HRSC commissioning and in-flight calibration will be performed already during cruise. Due to the envisaged frozen groundtrack of the Mars Express orbit, a detailed observation planning and coverage strategy can be elaborated which will be presented.
