o Inverted Meandering Rivers at a Possible Future Mars Landing Site

  This image contains interesting examples of crosscutting, sinuous 
  and straight ridges.

o A Youthful Crater in the Cydonia Colles Region

  Complex craters as small as this one are uncommon and may provide 
  clues to the lithology of the rocks underground.

o Down in the Paleochannels

  One hypothesis for TAR formation is that larger grains like pebbles 
  are rolled on top of smaller ripples and then, finer dust settles 
  into the cracks, "inflating" the pebbles.

o A Landing Site for ExoMars 2016

  In March 2016, the European Space Agency in partnership with Roscosmos 
  will launch the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. We helped them choose a safe landing spot.

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.
