MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES June 16, 2011
o Pit on the Eastern Flank of Pavonis Mons http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_019351_1795 This image was suggested by Dennis Mitchell's seventh grade Mars student team at Evergreen Middle School in Cottonwood, California as part of the HiRISE Quest Student Imaging Challenge. o Light and Dark Bands in Darwin Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022117_1225 Dark streaks and dust devil tracks across much of the HiRISE image indicate active sediment transport by wind processes. o Light-Toned Units and Dunes, Meridiani Planum http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022208_1800 Located in a small unnamed crater just west of Schiaparelli impact crater, this observation shows a portion of the crater's western slope and floor. o Faulted, Layered Deposits in Candor Chasma http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022343_1735 The light-toned layered material was likely deposited when there was water in the Chasma. 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
