MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
August 27, 2014
o A Possible Landing Site in Aram Dorsum for the ExoMars Rover
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037030_1880
One of the important roles of HiRISE is to take high resolution
images of potential landing sites for future landing missions.
o Weird Crater
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037237_1435
This feature has a strange appearance, as if the crater has feet
with toes sticking out of two sides.
o A New Impact Crater Near NASA's InSight Landing Region
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037328_1845
This recent image, acquired to certify a landing site for the
mission, shows a distinctive crater with a very sharp rim and dark ejecta.
o Mantled Terrain in the Southern Mid-Latitudes
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037474_1380
The pitted texture suggests that ice is sublimating out from the deposits
as the region is warmed under current lower obliquity conditions.
