ESA's Mars Express spacecraft has a polar orbit. For more than 20 years it has been “orbiting” the planet on a path that takes it over the two poles with each orbit. The probe moves on an elongated ellipse.

Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Die ESA-Raumsonde Mars Express hat eine polare Umlaufbahn. Seit mehr als 20 Jahren „umkreist“ sie den Planeten also auf einer Bahn, die sie bei jedem Orbit über die beiden Pole führt. Dabei bewegt sich die Sonde auf einer langgestreckten Ellipse. Während jeder siebenstündigen Umkreisung nähert sich Mars Express der Oberfläche bis auf etwa 350 Kilometer und entfernt sich dann wieder bis auf eine Entfernung von etwa 10.500 Kilometern. Bilder aus großer Höhe, wie dieser viele tausend Kilometer lange Scan vom Marshochland im Süden bis ins nördliche Tiefland, werden in der Regel zur Beobachtung des Wetters in der dünnen Marsatmosphäre genutzt, oder zur Erstellung globaler Ansichten der Oberfläche und zu Kalibrierungszwecken aufgenommen. Dabei wird das Raumschiff in einer schwungvollen Bewegung über den Mars geschwenkt, wodurch die Sensoren der HRSC solch große Gebiete abscannen können. Credit: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO
English: ESA's Mars Express spacecraft has a polar orbit. For more than 20 years it has been “orbiting” the planet on a path that takes it over the two poles with each orbit. The probe moves on an elongated ellipse. During each seven-hour orbit, Mars Express approaches the surface to within about 350 kilometers and then retreats to a distance of about 10,500 kilometers. High-altitude images, such as this many-thousand-kilometer-long scan from the Martian highlands in the south to the northern lowlands, are typically used to observe the weather in the thin Martian atmosphere, or to create global views of the surface and for calibration purposes. The spacecraft is swung over Mars in a sweeping motion, allowing the HRSC sensors to scan such large areas. Credit: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO
