On my website sometime back, I added a page on the image fragment sent back by the Mars-3 Lander. I released serveral versions, including the best quality processing using othodox techniques I would use on other images plus colorization here:
http://pages.preferred.com/%7Etedstryk/fragmentc.jpg However, I released another image, which I called a "What if" image. This image can be seen here http://pages.preferred.com/%7Etedstryk/m3s5b.jpg It was produced via extreme processing of the original data to make a Mars-like scene, but I made it clear on my website it was only a speculative image. I strongly doubt if the raw data even shows Mars at all - it could be all noise. But since this mode of processing looked strangely Viking-like, I figured I would put it on the web. I was warned by several, who said that while fun, some kooks might take it seriously. My response was that I really don't care what kooks think. Then I noticed this web page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_2 They used the overprocessed image. I feel like it is being presented as a true photograph. This is of concern. -------------------- |

Ted, I'm reading the upper link with a great interest. About Mars 6: it says that the photometer took colour filter images of the atmosphere. Do you have some images (as files)? I had once, on a paper and I lost it

About Mars 6: it says that the photometer took colour filter images of the atmosphere. Do you have some images (as files)? I had once, on a paper and I lost it The Mars-6 lander carried a photometer which was used to measure lightlevels, probably similar to instruments carried on the Venera Venus landers. Quote: "Contrary to exaggerated press reports, it seems unlikely the instrument was able to return color images" (ref. "Mars 5 and 6 Flight Analysed", Flight International, 4 April 1974 439-440, also ref "Robotic Exploration of the Solar System" Ulivi/Harland, page 167). I have never seen any reference to pictures taken by the flyby bus of Mars 6 or 7, only pictures taken by Mars 4 and 5 have been published. |
