PHOE-SOL001-M-Photocomposite-00.jpgThe Surface of Vastitas and the Sky above - Sol 1 (Photocomposite; RAW Color Data; credits: Dr M. Faccin)66 visiteQuesta immagine è una fotocomposizione in colori "RAW", ossìa interpretando le informazioni-colore contenute nel frame e SENZA applicazione di filtri e procedimento MULTISPECTRUM. Probabilmente, le prime immagini a colori "false" ed "approximate true" Made by NASA, saranno simili a questa (una conclusione ovvia anche perchè, come potete vedere bene Voi stessi, l'Immaginario Collettivo non viene disturbato da questo tipo di colorizzazione: il Pianeta Rosso, infatti ed anche nella Regione di Vastitas, appare ancora del suo tipico colorito arancio-mattone con sfumature ruggine e giallo chiaro: il colore, ribadiamo, dell'Immaginazione).
Ma Marte NON E' esattamente così, come ormai sappiamo bene tutti... MareKromium

PHOE-SOL001-lg_400-001.jpgVastitas Borealis - Sol 1 (Natural Colors + MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)66 visiteCaption NASA:" This flat horizon stretches across the Red Planet as seen by the Phoenix Spacecraft after yesterday's landing on Mars. Touching down shortly after 7:30 pm Eastern Time, Phoenix made the first successful soft landing on Mars, using rockets to control its final speed, since the Viking landers in 1976. Launched in August of 2007, Phoenix has now made the northernmost landing and is intended to explore the Martian arctic's potentially ice-rich soil.
The lander has returned images and data initially indicating that it is in excellent shape after a nearly flawless descent. News updates will be available throughout the day".MareKromium

000-Phoenix_Logo.jpgThe Phoenix Mars Lander Logo66 visiteThe Phoenix, a fabulous mythical bird the size of an eagle, symbolizes rebirth in many ancient cultures. According to the ancient Greeks, the bird lives in Arabia, nearby a cool well and sings a beautiful morning song. The Phoenix lives 500 years or longer with only one Phoenix existing at a time.
When the bird's death approaches, it bursts into flames, and a new bird springs from the consumed pyre.
Similar to its namesake, the Phoenix Mission "raises from the ashes" a spacecraft and instruments from 2 previous unsuccessful attempts to explore Mars: the Mars Polar Lander and the Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander. The Mars Polar Lander failed to return data upon its arrival to Mars' antarctic region on December 3, 1999 and left many ambitious science goals undone. Phoenix uses 3 instruments from this earlier Polar Lander, the SSI, the RA and the TEGA.
The Phoenix Mission uses the Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander, built in 2000, but later administratively mothballed. The '01 lander is undergoing modifications to improve the spacecraft's robustness and safety during entry, descent, and landing. Phoenix recovers two instruments delivered for the '01 lander that have been in protected storage: the MARDI and the MECA. Also, the RA has been modified from the '01 lander version.

PHOE-SOL133-lg38921-38922-38923-3.jpgThe "Trench" in Perspective - Sol 133 (Superdefinition and possible True Colors; credits: Dr G. Barca)68 visiteUna nuova e spettacolare "visione prospettica" delle trincee scavate da Phoenix: la qualità dell'elaborazione e la cura nella definizione dei dettagli del suolo usate dal Dr Barca rendono questo frame - al pari di MOLTI altri - un Lavoro (a nostro avviso) di gran lunga migliore di quelli "Made by NASA".
E scusateci la franchezza...MareKromium
