PGT-ET Telescope & Mars Volcano Olympus Mons

PGT-ET Telescope Looks Inside Mt. Olympus Volcano on Mars
LOOK DEEP INSIDE MAR'S MYSTERIOUS VOLCANO CHAMBER
This is a very deep and spectacular Adjunctive Paradigmic telescopic view obtained with the PGT-ET that does more than just show Mars’ Mt. Olympus - it actually takes you on a fantastic journey through the interior, traveling all the way to the deepest depth and finally a touch-down on the bottom!

What strange and fascinating objects dwell at the deepest darkest subterranean depths of the Martian nether world? What unusual things reside through the Caldera hole, down on the floor 620 miles deep into the bowels of the inferno? Which treasures are locked up for millions of years? This is a place where no human has previously journeyed. Partake in this exciting adventure as we enter into the volcano and discover things beyond our wildest dreams...

ADJUNCTIVE TELESCOPE OBJECTIVE
We said that we would attempt to find the volcano, zoom down on it from a relative near top position, peek inside from the top opening if possible, then actually zoom down along the sloping interior walls and finally reach the bottom floor to determine what’s there.

RESULTS
We managed to find Olympus Mons (see marked position on round disc photo) and image the complete volcano from the outside. Focus was then placed on the Caldera at the top, which is a volcanic ventral opening at the peak. Expecting a Dante Inferno inside, we cautiously peered inside the mysterious and ultimately massive vent chasm. We moved down the caved-in slopes, into the bowel lining of ancient Martian intestinal walls, and penetrated as deep as possible through the chamber's hole, finally reaching the bottom, which produced views of spectacular Martian landscapes and features.

CONCLUSIONS
It was a surprise when the telescope actually looked inside the massive volcano on Mars and reached the floor. The hole looked-through is 370 miles wide. Compared to the baseline at Amazonis Planetia, the volcano rises to an elevation of 620 miles.

Penetrating the Caldera pot is a significant project, finding several platform floors developed by impact craters and vulcanism. No active lava beds, fire, or smoke were observed. There are no visible active fire ventral openings to the subterranean mantel or Martian core. There is no evidence of animals, foot prints, or complex structures made by advanced Martian civilizations.

What the walls did exhibit are ancient landslides and shallow coverings of Martian dust and “sand.” Swept erosion is evident as the very ancient territory is dated. It appears that at least five eruptive periods of volcanic activity happened, each producing its own subterra.

Down at the lowest and deepest base floor, eroded lava flows are evident. Externally, great winds and dust storms swirl around violently at the wall base, creating sand dunes and systematic patterned drifting.

Newer craters were produced by rock penetrating the thin atmosphere and reaching the bottom. Magma flow is marked and aligned in a downward direction near the floor’s central endowment. Meteorites are found down here.

Evidence of great magma swells and retractions are visible as contoured marination extends to the perimeter. There is also some resemblance to residual impelled shock waves frozen in the carnage of magma surrounds.

Several smaller magnanimous spires rise up from the bottom, frozen in space time. Small craters litter the bottom but not in large numbers. Light bounces around on the bottom creating faint patterns of uneven illumination. Due to the large hole opening, sunlight can enter and cast shadows at the base of the slope.

The mountain walls and/or contributing slopes, rising up or extending down, appear to have highly reflective albedo, perhaps indicative of a layer of white hoar frost which forms during the night. Creatures, permafrost, bacteria, and organisms with smaller size than the limiting telescope resolution could reside here. The interior offers some haven protection against solar radiation at low sun angles and massive global dust storms at the opposite wall directions.

NEW USE OF THE AH ANALYZER HEAD
This is the first test of the AH Analyzer Head which introduces and denotes, from small to large positional scale, a final image position. This is the first time the AH was put into use and further adjustments may be needed.

Olympus Mons PGT ET Test Site

Mars map showing Olympus Mons and the intriguing Caldera selected for tests

OLYMPUS MONS SELECTED AS PGT ET TELESCOPE TEST SITE
"It's expected that the PGT ET version telescope will outstrip our wildest imaginations in terms of visual performance and discovery, based on the known performances of previous telescopes and machines. It's currently open as to which research fields will be approached and which subjects will be chosen for the initial tests. Let's examine one possible and intriguing test site that will be scientifically viable and possibly contribute to new discoveries."

INTRODUCTION
We're thinking about pointing the massive adjunctive telescope towards the Solar System's largest volcano, Olympus Mons on Mars, for first light tests. The questions that will possibly will be answered by the PGT ET are, "Is it possible to image inside the Martian Olympus Mons? If it's open at the top, can we journey down deep slopes into the floor of the volcano? How far down will this journey take us? What hidden inexplicable unknowns lie inside?

OLYMPUS MONS OVERVIEW
Olympus Mons on the planet Mars is an extinct volcano over 16 miles high and three times higher than Mt. Everest on the Earth. It's the largest and highest known volcano in the Solar System. It holds special "geological" benefits and keys to future inhabitants of the Martian surface. At 550 km in diameter and 25 km high, it has mysterious overlapping calderas at the summit and one or two flanking parasitic cones. The caldera depth alone is about 3 km. Olympus Mons is located at the northwestern edge of the Tharsis region, about 1200 km from the other three large Martian shield volcanoes, collectively called the Tharsis Montes (Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons, and Ascraeus Mons).

Mars Map: Telescope to target the Caldera

CHOOSING THE SITE
For choosing the site, framing, deciding on orientations, obtaining references for image scale and deciding telescope formatting, we can go to Google Mars, and download the update, thus exploring Mars in 3-D just like in Google Earth. This explains how to use it. The objective is to enable the telescope to penetrate, as deep as possible into and through the Olympus Mons Caldera. With the power of the new PGT ET telescope, we may see detail not only on the massive slopes leading to the deep floor depths, but actual detail along the volcano floor. The high vantage point of the PGT ET is favorable for looking down from above to create ideal conditions.

BLOWING UP
If Olympus Mons blows, it could be very good for planet Mars, contributing greenhouse gases that could raise the temperature of Mars, provide more of a substantial climate, enabling more protection against harmful ultraviolet and other rays, and providing a more hospitable environment for future Martian colonists. Viewing, creating, studying ultra high resolution images of the volcano could provide valuable details about and for predicting the behavior of this huge impending feature that could terraform the planet in the future.

CONCLUSION
The Mars giant Olympus Mons volcano is selected for the first test site, to test the new PGT ET telescope. A key feature is the Caldera, an opening into the volcano, possibly extending to an elevated floor of some kind. What type of lava flow creatures live at the bottom, or what variety of floor materials will emerge from the telescope imagery? Will before and after images contribute to understanding the dates and times of future eruption? What unusual features will emerge? How deep can we look inside the OM? Can this exploration contribute to the search for life? Is this region indicative of an ancient ocean where we may find fossils emerging from the caved-in surrounds? Can we see the inside wall slopes and what will they reveal? Can specific Martian axial tilts contribute to angular viewing and can processing enhance their viewing vantage points. Which Adjuncts and Adjunctive Positioning will best facilitate the above, if any? Can the OM contribute to Mars thermodynamic heating a Martian colony base or provide other materials for survival? Are there burrow holes in the side of the slopes. How deep and how steep are the interior walls? Is there slide wash on the interior slopes and to what extent? Is sand visible? Can resolution meet or exceed that which is necessary to see footprints or small creatures? How will this test contribute to expanding PGT-ET programs?
