    Third Mars Express Data Workshop - MARSIS & MaRS

    Programme and Documentation

    The third in a series of ESA Mars Express data workshops was held 9 to 11 June 2008 at ESAC, Villafranca del Castillo, Madrid, 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 MARSIS and MaRS instruments.

    This page hosts the workshop presentations that are available for download. The complete documentation of this workshop is available to download from the FTP site: ftp://ssols01.esac.esa.int/pub/workshops/07_MEX_DW_June_2008/

    For the complete workshop details see the dedicated pages at http://www.rssd.esa.int/index.php?project=TOP&page=3rd_mexdw_08
