| The second instrument aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft is the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES). The purpose of TES is to measure thermal infrared (IR) energy that is emitted from Mars. Students will use TES's measurement of the albedo of the Tharsis Province to learn more about the unique geology of this region. The following are additional URLs associated with this activity.
