MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES June 8, 2011
o Craters and Landslides http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022205_1625 This observation show a small crater on the rim of a larger crater that appears to have triggered multiple landslides at the time of impact. o Distinct Gullies http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022225_1305 HiRISE resolution can help us view fine-scale morphology as well as change detection. o Mawrth Vallis Strata Exposed in Small Crater http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022288_2035 This image covers strata with interesting geometry exposed in a small crater in the large crater west of the proposed Mars Science Laboratory ellipse. o Active Sand in Nili Patera http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_022364_1890 Some of the linear ripples on these dunes moving, confirming they are active in the current climate conditions. 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 Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
