MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES December 21, 2016
o Lace on Mars http://www.uahirise.org/ESP_046414_0990 Channels formed by sublimation of a layer of seasonal dry ice are so dense in this area that they look like lace. o Spiders on Mounds http://www.uahirise.org/ESP_046562_1005 This landform is uniquely Martian, formed in the spring as seasonal dry ice turns directly into gas. o Secondary Craters http://www.uahirise.org/ESP_046876_1465 Secondary impact craters are both interesting and vexing, but can be used to constrain the age of the surface where they fell. o Soffen Crater Floor http://www.uahirise.org/ESP_047561_1560 This crater on Mars was named after Dr. Gerald A. Soffen, project scientist for NASA's Viking program for Mars landers. http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ 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.
