Dry Valleys Experiment

 
Flight paths for the Dry Valleys flights in 2001 are shown in the above photo which shows the Dry Valleys region in close-up view. Flights in 2000 achieved approximately the same coverage, excluding Beacon Valley (due to weather). Flight elevation was nominally 500 m above the surface, as much as physical constraints would allow.
