MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
August 27, 2014

o A Possible Landing Site in Aram Dorsum for the ExoMars Rover
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037030_1880

  One of the important roles of HiRISE is to take high resolution
  images of potential landing sites for future landing missions.

o Weird Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037237_1435

 This feature has a strange appearance, as if the crater has feet
  with toes sticking out of two sides.

o A New Impact Crater Near NASA's InSight Landing Region
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037328_1845

  This recent image, acquired to certify a landing site for the
  mission, shows a distinctive crater with a very sharp rim and dark ejecta.

o Mantled Terrain in the Southern Mid-Latitudes
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037474_1380

  The pitted texture suggests that ice is sublimating out from the deposits
  as the region is warmed under current lower obliquity conditions.
