MISSION_OBJECTIVES_SUMMARY
      Mission Objectives Summary    ==================================       GRSFE data will be used in a variety of investigations,      including tests of multispectral radiative transfer models for      scattering and emission from planetary surfaces in support of      the Earth Observing System (EOS), Mars Observer and Magellan      Missions.  Studies will be pursued to establish the neotectonic      and paleoclimatic history of the arid southwestern United      States.  GRSFE data will also be used to support Mars Rover      Sample Return (MRSR) simulation studies.  Finally, this      collection of data will be a useful tool for teaching      geological remote sensing.
