MARSIS Completes Measurement Campaign Over Martian North Pole
The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) instrument on board Mars Express has recently completed a subsurface sounding campaign over the planet's North Pole. The campaign was interrupted by the suspension of science observations several times between August and October due to safe modes and to anomalies in the operation of the spacecraft's Solid-State Mass Memory (SSMM) system.

Looking forward to the publications....

Re: MARSIS Completes Measurement Campaign Over Martian North Pole
This topic showed up when I entered a search with topics with the word "north"
If anyone in the NewMars membership has time and the interest, this topic could use an update.
What happened to those measurements? Where are they stored? Were any conclusions reached?
Were follow up campaigns planned or actually carried out?
