The geology of the Viking Lander 1 site
Alan B. Binder,Raymond E. Arvidson,Edward A. Guinness,Kenneth L. Jones,E. C. Morris,Thomas A. Mutch,David C. Pieri,Carl Sagan +7 more
TL;DR: Stereo pictures from the Viking landing on volcanic terrain of undulating topography in the plains of Chryse as mentioned in this paper show that the bedrock is exposed along several ridge crests, and blocks are more numerous than can be attributed to impact ejecta.
Journal ArticleDOI
One Mars year: viking lander imaging observations.
Kenneth L. Jones,Raymond E. Arvidson,Edward A. Guinness,Susan L. Bragg,S. D. Wall,Carl E. Carlston,Deborah G. Pidek +6 more
TL;DR: Surface condensates formed at the Viking 2 lander site during the winter and additional observations suggest that surface erosion rates due to dust redistribution may be substantially less than those predicted on the basis of pre-Viking observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multiangle imaging spectroradiometer for terrestrial remote sensing from the earth observing system
David J. Diner,Carol J. Bruegge,John V. Martonchik,Graham W. Bothwell,E.D. Danielson,Elmer L. Floyd,Virginia G. Ford,Larry E. Hovland,Kenneth L. Jones,Mary White +9 more
TL;DR: The Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument for the Earth Observing System (EOS) will provide a unique opportunity for studying the ecology and climate of the Earth through the acquisition of systematic, global multiangle imagery in reflected sunlight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of active volcanoes from the earth observing system

Pieri,Howard A. Zebker,Arlin J. Krueger,Lou Walter,Charles A. Wood,William I. Rose,John Adams,Robert S. Wolff +19 more
TL;DR: The Earth Observing System (EOS) is scheduled for launch in 1997 and 1999, and the EOS volcanology investigation objectives are discussed in this article, including long and short-term monitoring of selected volcanoes, the detection of precursor activity associated with unanticipated eruptions, and a detailed study of on-going eruptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viking 1 Lander on the surface of mars: Revised location
E. C. Morris,Kenneth L. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the location of the Viking 1 Lander was determined by using the higher resolution of pictures taken by the Viking Orbiter at a lower periapsis altitude, which facilitated the correlation of topographical features with the same features in the Lander pictures.
