MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES January 13, 2016
o Erosion and Deposition in Schaeberle Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042527_1555 This image shows a window into the history of the crater's fill deposit, showcasing eroding bedrock and aeolian landforms. o Ancient Rivers http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042924_2195 Early in Martian history, liquid water energetically carved the surface, forming channel systems that look remarkably similar to river valleys and drainage networks on Earth. o Mars 2020 Candidate Landing Site in McLaughlin Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043136_2020 McLaughlin Crater straddles three major terrain types: the Northern lowlands, the Southern highlands and the Mawrth Vallis region. o A Young, Fresh Crater in Hellespontus http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_043398_1600 At 1.3 kilometers in diameter, this unnamed crater is only slightly larger than Arizona's Meteor Crater. 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
