Title: MOLA, Mars Polar Lander Landing Site
Abstract: Several of the following visualizations show false-colored renderings of the topography in the vicinity of the Lander site. Blue tones represent elevations of less than 2 kilometers, while reddish tones are greater than about 2.8 km, relative to the mean equatorial height of Mars. The elevation of the landing site is about 2.4 km, midway into the polar layered terrain.

Zoom from a global view of Mars from Viking imagery to the Mars Polar Lander landing site near the south pole of Mars, using a false color inset of MOLA topography data. White colors indicate elevations in excess of 3012 meters, red shows elevations between 2500 and 3012 meters, yellow shows elevations from 2450 to 2500 meters, dark cyan shows elevations from 2150 to 2450 meters, dark violet shows elevations from 320 to 2150 meters. The topography in these images is vertically exaggerated by a factor of 5. 764 Mars Polar Lander Landing Site: Global View to False Color MOLA Inset 1:00:15:00  -   01:01:02:26

Rotating a Martian globe, using Viking imagery, to the south pole and fading to topography data from MOLA, showing that large portions of the ice cap may be covered by dust. Note that the permanent frozen cap of carbon dioxide ice is not located directly at the south pole. White colors indicate elevations in excess of 3012 meters, and dark violet shows elevations from 320 to 2150 meters. 767 A Comparison of Visible and Topographic Data for the Martian South Pole: Version 1 1:03:39:27  -   01:05:00:27

*Please note: the SVS does not fulfill requests for copies of the tapes in our library. On some of our animation pages, there is a direct link to a video distribution service from which tapes, handled by the Public Affairs Office (PAO)/Goddard TV, including some of our animations may be ordered.
