 SPACE.com -- Still Solo, Mars Global Surveyor Picks Up Slack in NASA's Mars Program
The Global surveyor showed the alternating layers were visible on the scales of less than 10 meters, which raised the intriguing and still unanswered question of whether the deposition of the ice and dust is occurring on an annual cycle.
But in their analysis of the Surveyor's magnetic measurements, NASA's Connerney and Acuna found that two of Mars' largest and oldest craters -- the Hellas and Argyre basins, estimated to be about 4 billion years old -- lack any evidence of crustal magnetism.
One of the least-recognized instruments aboard the Global Surveyor is the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES), an instrument that measures the heat-retaining characteristics and spectral signature of various materials on the surface.
