MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES July 13, 2011
o Small Mounds in Chryse Planitia http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022381_2000 The suggested area in this observation is characterized by a group of cones, shield-like features, and round mounds. o Faults in Claritas Fossae http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022476_1535 This observation can help measure displacements across well-exposed normal faults to investigate stress history and material properties. o Erosion Features near the South Pole of Mars http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022998_0980 During the winter, high latitudes on Mars build up deposits of carbon dioxide frost that can be several feet thick. 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
