HiRISE: Crater in the Zarqa Valles channel
A crater in the inner channel of Zarqa Valles. We target here a crater of diameter close to 1 kilometer that impacted in an inner channel within a valley with potential sedimentary deposits, in the region of Libya Montes. High … Continue reading

HiRISE: Plains with clay exposures
Plains with clay exposures. If at first you don’t succeed: an earlier observation we took of this area in 2016 was too hazy to study, so a re-image can get us the closer look at clay exposures we wanted. HiRISE … Continue reading

HiRISE: Possible jarosite on a plateau in Nili Fossae
Possible jarosite on a plateau in Nili Fossae. Recent analyses of CRISM data have discovered jarosite in this portion of the trough wall, possibly within a previously identified aluminum clay unit. Jarosite is a sulfate mineral also detected by the … Continue reading

HiRISE: Small craters in Promethei Terra
Small craters in Promethei Terra. The target area is for the theoretical landing of a rover, in a flat area close by. The craters in the target area are important because they are a potential source of rock samples that … Continue reading

HiRISE: Layers in Tikhonravov
Layers in Tikhonravov. The objective of this observation is to examine layers outside of a crater within the 344-kilometer diameter Tikhonravov Crater. Tikhonravov is believed to have once held a giant lake and was named after Mikhail Tikhonravov, a Russian … Continue reading
HiRISE: Flow, moving
Flow, moving. The objective of this observation is to examine a flow that goes through a crater in Nilosyrtis Mensae. It was probably larger in the past and has since been reduced in volume. HiRISE Picture of the Day archive. … Continue reading

HiRISE: The hills in Eos Chasma
The hills in Eos Chasma. They may not be alive with the sound of music, but we’ll take the opportunity to look for recurring slope lineae, small gullies and slumped material. HiRISE Picture of the Day archive. [More at links]

HiRISE: Floor and north rim of Dokka Crater
Floor and north rim of Dokka Crater. Dokka Crater is 52-kilometers in diameter and located in the north polar region of Mars. Its interior is presumably a remnant of a former polar cap with larger extension, so it could provide … Continue reading
