MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES

o Clay-Rich Terrain in Oxia Planum: A Proposed ExoMars Landing Site	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039154_1985

  This image uses HiRISE to show what the surface looks like and 
  whether it is feasible to land a rover on it.

o Searching for Clinoforms in a Possible Delta	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039820_1750

  Evidence for deltas that formed billions of years ago on Mars has 
  been mounting in recent years.

o Pedestal Crater Development	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039936_1330

  A pedestal occurs when the ejecta from an impact settles around the 
  new crater and is more erosion-resistant than the surrounding terrain.

o A Channel System and Patterned Ground near Hellas Basin	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_040601_1460

  In this image, we explore the southwestern floor of a 50-kilometer 
  diameter unnamed crater, about 100 kilometers northeast of Hellas Basin.

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.
