First Mars Express Data Workshop -
HRSC & OMEGA
Programme and Documentation
The first in a series of Mars Express data workshops was held 11 to 15 June 2007 at ESAC, Villafrance, Spain. The workshop focussed on accessing and working with the Mars Express data that is available through the Planetary Science Archive and in particular data from the HRSC and OMEGA instruments. A second workshop, in early 2008, informs about the retrieval and usage of ASPERA, PFS & SPICAM data.
Presentations at the first workshop and several materials used for instructions can be retrieved through the below programme. The workshop pages are linked in the right-hand side navigation (see also).
Update 18 June 2008 - Additional data usage tools
A dedicated FTP site containing user-developed or provided tools for using/processing/converting Mars Express data was set up on 18 December 2007. It can be accessed through the related link on the right hand side.
As of 18 June 2008 it is located at the new address: ftp://ssols01.esac.esa.int/pub/workshops/04_MEX_DW_june_2007/
