It will be a pleasure if it helps you to understand India's Mars Mission. It was barely an opportunity for me to represent my country.I am glad to do so. Hope this will also be helpful for you. Thank you. #FeelProud #ISRO #MOM

18. Global SWIR Albedo Map
o Fraction of incident solar
radiation reflected by the
surface.
o Wavelength band 1.64-1.66 µm
o Spatial resolution ~50 km
o Low value – Dark surface
(having volcanic rock basalt)
o High Value – Covered with
Dust.

20. Polar Ice Cap
o Ls=0º is the start of northern
spring
o Ls=180º is the start of southern
spring.
o Northern winters (Ls=270-
360º) - cap grows much larger.
o Summer returns (Ls=90-180º) -
- Polar cap shrinks in size.
o Ice and Dust - “Polar Layered
Terrain"

Hope you have enjoyed the journey with MOM.
Thanks.
