MOLA PRECISION RADIOMETRY DATA RECORD
Listed in NASA Data Portal
The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeternot only provides surface topography from the laser pulsetime-of-flight, but also two radiometric measurements, the activemeasurement of transmitted and reflected laser pulse energy, and thepassive measurement of reflected solar illumination.
Description
The passiveradiometry measurement is accomplished in a novel fashion bymonitoring the noise density at the output of the photodetector andsolving for the amount of background light.
The passive radiometrymeasurements provide images of Mars at 1064-nm wavelength over a 2 nmbandwidth with sub-km spatial resolution and with 2% or betterprecision under full illumination.
