MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES May 11, 2011
o Bedform Changes in Aureum Chaos http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021906_1765 Aureum Chaos, located in the eastern part of Valles Marineris, is a complex area with light-toned material. o Promethei Planum http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021915_1005 A study of this formation may reveal new knowledge about erosion, and ice formation. o Potential Mars Landing Site Near Mounds Associated with Crater Rim http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_021919_2135 One of the justifications for this observation is to assess landing/roving hazards and morphology. o Possible Inverted Topography Landscape with Clay Minerals http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022077_2000 Clays are exciting because they indicate there was most likely water around here long ago. 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 the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
