N2 - The ESA Mars Express mission has changed our view of Mars. We highlight results of the mission, in the area of surface, atmospheric and subsurface studies. The instruments provide high resolution imaging with stereo and color (HRSC), IR mineralogical mapping (OMEGA), spectrometric studies of the atmosphere (SPICAM), radar sub-surface sounding (MARSIS), measurements of atmospheric composition (PFS), study of the interaction with the solar wind (ASPERA), and radio science investigations (MaRS). The HRSC experiment proper is a push-broom scanning instrument with 9 CCD line detectors mounted in parallel in the focal plane. It provides data at high resolution of 10 m/pixel from 250 km periapsis, with along-track triple stereo, with four colors and at five different phase angles. An additional Super resolution Channel (HRSC-SRC) framing camera has a pixel four times smaller. We shall give highlights of results of the HRSC in the areas of geology (study of volcanic and periglacial activity, history of water), atmospheric science, photogrammetry/cartography of Mars, and spectrometry, obtained from the analysis conducted by the international co-investigator team.
