MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES December 23, 2015
o Boulders on a Landslide http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_035831_1760 This landslide is relatively fresh, as many individual boulders still stand out above the main deposit. o Topography of the Western Edge of Marth Crater http://www.uahirise.org/dtm/dtm.php?ID=ESP_042753_1930 This digital terrain model shows a small portion of the 94-kilometer-diamter Marth Crater, the fictional traverse of astronaut Mark Watney. o Icy Erosion http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042886_1480 This observation shows an interesting collection of kilometer-scale craters with flat and smooth floors. o A Frost Enhanced Landscape http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_042895_2495 The process of polygon formation is common at these polar latitudes, but polygons are not always as striking as they are here. All of the HiRISE images are archived here: 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. Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., of Boulder, Colo., built the HiRISE instrument. ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
