NASA/SP-8020, Surface models of Mars, 1975, NASA SPACE VEHICLE DESIGN CRITERIA (Environment), NASA (Washington, DC, United States), September,1975, pp. 84, Format(s): PDF 5997k |
Data derived from Mariners 6, 7, and 9, Russian Mars probes, and photographic and radar observations conducted from earth are used to develop engineering models of Martian surface properties. These models are used in mission planning and in the design of landing and exploration vehicles. Optical models needed in the design of camera systems, dielectric properties needed in the design of radar systems, and thermal properties needed in the design of the spacecraft thermal control system are included.
