Data Fusion Provides a High-Definition Look At Mars' Temperature Maps
In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) is our best bet for “living off the land” for a future Martian base, but tracking down those resources is no easy task. As of now, we have two options - send a rover to a specific location to scout it, or monitor it from orbit. Since rovers are expensive, and there are an absolute ton of sites that we would eventually want to scout, doing so from orbit would seem a better option. But monitoring for temperature…
Recent studies conducted by researchers at Curtin University in Australia have presented a new approach to measuring thermal inertia on Mars, using a data fusion technique. This methodology promises to improve the thermal resolution of Martian surface maps, facilitating the identification of essential features for future exploration missions. Advances in Measuring Thermal Inertia Thermal inertia (TI) is a physical property that indicates a mater…
