MARS EXPRESS HRSC: Radiometrically Calibrated Mars Imagery from Orbits 23997-29016

Mars Express spacecraft data from the HRSC camera, processed to CODMAC level 3 radiometric calibration. The dataset covers orbits 23997 to 29016. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze Martian surface reflectance based on radiometrically calibrated data.
• Map geological features using calibrated imagery from specific spacecraft orbits.
• Perform photometric studies of Mars based on the calibrated camera products.

Strengths

• Contains data calibrated to CODMAC level 3, a defined processing standard.
• Covers a specific sequence of orbits (23997 to 29016), providing temporal continuity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
