Photography from the Viking Orbiter Visual Imaging Subsystem, taken while enroute to and in orbit about Mars, has been analyzed to determine the performance of the cameras. The cameras have remained in good focus. Random and coherent noise levels in

The large volume of picture data produced by the Mariner 9 Television Experiment, in addition to providing a description of the planet Mars, emphasizes the need for in situ verification of camera performance. Such data provide the basis for initial q

The Mars Observer Mission, to be launched by the United States in September 1992, is designed to perform an extended orbital study of the Martian surface, atmosphere, climate, and gravitational and magnetic fields using a spacecraft in Mars orbit for
The Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft was placed into Mars orbit on September 11, 1997, and by March 9, 1999, had slowly circularized through aerobraking to a Sun-synchronous, near-polar orbit with an average altitude of 378 km. The science payload inc

A summary is presented of the orbital imaging observations of dynamical phenomena on Mars during the Viking primary mission. Clouds in the Tharsis/Amazonis regions are examined and the observation of an area of unusually high brightness to the southw

Low phase angle observations in the Chryse-Acidalia region have been obtained the Viking Orbiter 1 spacecraft under clearer atmospheric conditions than reported earlier. A variety of surface features were recorded, e.g., crater streaks, dark and brig

Over 7200 Viking Orbiter pictures have provided phase function information over a large range in viewing geometry. Comparison with the earlier Mariner 9 data reveals possibly significant changes. A two-component limb darkening characterization is sho

Although photometry of Mars is not listed as a major mission objective, the Viking Project has provided the Orbiter Imaging Team with cameras exhibiting significant improvement in photometric measurement as compared with past Mariners. Sample calibra
