Based on data from Mars Express and real shots Martian surface, created a video showing three-dimensional surface of Mars. European Space Agency ESA joined forces with German computer experts graphics, and together they created a video showing the surface Mars. Now you can see almost the entire surface red planet, from the highest volcanoes to the deepest canyons. The basis for the video served as the data obtained from the “Mars Express”. During his motion in orbit, he shot the same sections Martian surface from different sides, so that in the end you can get a stereo image. Thus a detailed model of the Martian surface, which formed the basis of the roller. To create the texture, real shots were also used, which makes the model especially believable. As astronomers say the model shows the Martian surface with record accuracy. The video itself is dedicated to the decade of the “Mars Express” in orbit red planet. It was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on June 2, 2003. years and reached Mars after six and a half months. During this time he managed to fly around the planet’s orbit about 12,500 times.
