Visible/Near Infrared Spectral Characterization of In Situ Rock Outcrops at Meridiani Planum as Observed by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity
Abstract
Multispectral observations by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's Pancam are used to characterize spectral variability among the layered rock outcrops examined by the rover. The use of this VNIR spectral data to aid in stratigraphic analysis of the rock outcrops is also described.
