Martian surface Martian surface The study of surface characteristics (or surface properties and processes) is a broad category of Mars science that examines the nature of the materials making up the Martian surface. The study evolved from telescopic and remote-sensing techniques developed by astronomers to study planetary surfaces. However, it has increasingly become a subdiscipline of geology as automated spacecraft bring ever-improving resolution and instrument capabilities. By using characteristics such as color, albedo, and thermal inertia and analytical tools such as reflectance spectroscopy and radar, scientists are able to study the chemistry and physical makeup (e.g., grain sizes, surface roughness, and rock
Albedo (role-playing game) using near-future and far-future weaponry, in the same vein as "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six" and other "techno thrillers", as well as using genetically-engineered people as a morality play for 20th century geopolitics. Albedo (role-playing game) Albedo is a role-playing game based on Steve Gallacci's and "Birthright" storylines from the comic anthologies "Albedo Anthropomorphics" and "Critters". "Albedo: Platinum Catalyst" is characterized by the notable player-controlled troupe of characters, the main character and four supporting retinue. The main character is more fleshed out than his supporting characters which typically have 3 stats (species, morale, job description) and a weapon. Morale is a
