36. The OMEGA instrument was developed with the support of the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), Agenzia Spatiale Italiana (ASI), and Russian Space Agency. The scientific activity is funded by national space and research agencies and universities in France, Italy, Russia, Germany, and the United States. We are very grateful to all of the European Space Agency (ESA) teams who, together with industry, enable this mission. Public OMEGA data are accessible on the ESA Planetary Science Archive Web site. This paper benefited from very valuable comments from S. Murchie.
