Since the Map-based Search Interface is a Java-based application that loads through your web browser, no installation is required. Just click on the green Launch Interface button on this page.

However, there are some requirements in order for this interface to run correctly:

  • the Java runtime environment must be installed locally on your computer, and
  • your web browser must have both JavaScript and Java enabled.

The Map-based Search Interface offers a selection of background maps of Mars on top of which your can draw your Region of Interest.

You can then select your Instrument of choice and, if required, an instrument Detector and Processing Level.

Excute your query by clicking the Search button, and the Footprints of observations matching your query will be overlayed on the map.

By clicking on individual footprints, you can:

  • Isolate a single footprint
  • View browse image, if available
  • Download data product or view label
  • Download all documentation or software related to this data product

You can always switch back and forth between the Map-based Search and the Advanced Search Interface to refine your query, or to retrieve the content of your Delivery Basket.
