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

  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.

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.
