Abstract

The OMEGA visible and near-IR mapping spectrometer will reveal the mineralogical and molecular composition of the surface and atmosphere of Mars through the spectral analysis of the diffused solar light and surface thermal emission. It will provide global coverage at medium resolution (2-5 km) for altitudes from 1500 km to 4000 km, and high-resolution (< 350 m) spectral images of selected areas.
