HiRISE: High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment
This deposit of sedimentary rocks has excellent examples of recurring slope lineae (RSL). This proposed region of interest was last imaged after the 2006 dust storm and shows numerous large RSL all over the steep slopes. Once this excellent candidate RSL site is confirmed, additional images can be acquired on the neighboring candidate RSL site to the...
If the structure in this observation is a moraine, we should expect to find two sources of debris converging in the valley. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona)
Understanding the composition of this small crater may inform us of the ice content of the surrounding terrain. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona)
The objective of this observation is to examine a layered feature in an impact crater. The layers may represent layers of mantle from when the climate changed and the shape may be due to the wind. The scene is also found in Context Camera data. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona)
The objective of this observation is to examine light and dark layers in an impact crater in Cydonia Mensae. Our interest is in seeing if the layer boundaries are diffuse as suggested in CTX image data. Most of the layers seem to have definite boundaries. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona)
This observation was requested to look at some unusual surface textures in Amazonis Planitia. Some of the terrain grades into ridges that could possibly be invasive dikes or lava intruding into overlying ash. Despite the features in this image, Amazonis Planitia is one of the smoothest plains on Mars, and is located between the Tharsis and Elysium...
