Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Overview: The Instrument Suite and Mission (2007, methodology): “2) is similar to the designs of the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (Smith et al. 2001) and the Mercury Laser Altimeter (Solomon et al. 2001); however, it has five laser beams and five receiver channels.”
The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) during MRO’s Primary Science Phase (PSP) (2010, background): “This variation in strategy has allowed for more complete coverage of different scientific themes, sub-topics, and types of features, allowing us to address a wide spectrum of Martian surface science.”

High-resolution thermal inertia derived from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS): Thermal model and applications (2006, methodology): “TES atmospheric 336 dust opacity was used for the first Martian year of MGS 337 mapping when there were no global dust storms [Smith et 338 al., 2000; M. D. Smith et al., 2001].”
Formation timescales of large Martian valley networks (2011, methodology): “Volumes within the valleys were measured using ArcGIS software and Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Global Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topographic data (~463 m/pix) (Smith et al., 2001) and, where available, Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) topographic data (~75 m/pix) (Jaumann et al.”
