Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity

Opportunity Launched July 7, 2003 Arrived January 25, 2004 Meridiani Planum Still operational Science instrument include: Cameras: Pan Cam Nav Cam Microscopic Imager Spectrometers Mossbauer Spectrometer Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer Grinder Rock Abrasion Tool Magnet Magnet Array

Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer ( Mini-TES)

 Determine the mineralogy of the rocks and soils  Determine the thermo-physical properties of selected soil patches  Determine the temperature profile, dust opacity, water-ice opacity, and water vapor abundance in the atmosphere

All done using MMCC, a program in IDL

 Allow scientists to easily see reference images for Mini-TES data relevant to its location on the surface of Mars

The final database includes over 300 mosaics of different sites that have over 2,000 mini-TES projections. There are two databases: Mini-TES targeted data from rocks and soil Mini-TES targeted data from systematic ground observations used in conjunction with atmospheric measurements
