December 2, 2005 Mars Express Radar Instrument Reveals Martian Subsurface
A U.S.-Italian radar instrument aboard the European Space Agency's Mars Express has peered deep below the surface. Early results from the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding reveal buried craters and reservoirs of ice. The top image shows radar data from the subsurface. The lower image shows the location on a topographic map of the area. (Dec. 2) |
