MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES July 1, 2015
o Clay-Rich Terrain in Oxia Planum: A Proposed ExoMars Landing Site http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039154_1985 This image uses HiRISE to show what the surface looks like and whether it is feasible to land a rover on it. o Searching for Clinoforms in a Possible Delta http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039820_1750 Evidence for deltas that formed billions of years ago on Mars has been mounting in recent years. o Pedestal Crater Development http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039936_1330 A pedestal occurs when the ejecta from an impact settles around the new crater and is more erosion-resistant than the surrounding terrain. o A Channel System and Patterned Ground near Hellas Basin http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040601_1460 In this image, we explore the southwestern floor of a 50-kilometer diameter unnamed crater, about 100 kilometers northeast of Hellas Basin. All of the HiRISE images are archived here: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, of Denver, is the prime contractor and built the spacecraft. HiRISE is operated by the University of Arizona. Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., of Boulder, Colo., built the HiRISE instrument. ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
