Mars Global Surveyor was launched in November 1996 and has been
in Mars orbit since September 1997. It began its primary
mapping mission on March 8, 1999. Mars Global Surveyor is the
first mission in a long-term program of Mars exploration known as
the Mars Surveyor Program that is managed by JPL for NASA's Office
of Space Science, Washington, DC. Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS)
and the California Institute of Technology built the MOC
using spare hardware from the Mars Observer mission. MSSS operates
the camera from its facilities in San Diego, CA. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory's Mars Surveyor Operations Project operates the Mars Global
Surveyor spacecraft with its industrial partner, Lockheed Martin
Astronautics, from facilities in Pasadena, CA and Denver, CO.

Oh my god! It's evidence of the use of widespread technology on the surface
of Mars! I'll write a paper about it and put it on my website.

Very intersting picture, looks like EVERYTHING changed.
Is this wind + erosion or something melting?

CO2 ice retreat / "erosion" due to warming. There was a paper out some
time back on the subject.

It looks like a carbon dioxide polar cap would really churn away at the
underlying terrain. I wonder how the ground would look after a few
hundred million years of that.

There was a small discussion in sci.astro last September on a similar
topic. We were looking at this picture here and wondering if there
wasn't some kind of global warming going on, and how the sublimation of
CO2 and H20 would affect the terrain over time.

It looks like Opportunity is moving slowly.
