MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 21, 2015

o Crater Slopes: The Power of a Repeat Image
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_037125_1315

  Repeat coverage actually serves a special purpose, such
  as detecting seasonal changes.

o Gullies in Liu Hsin Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038896_1255

  By comparing to gullies that are just 20 kilometers away,
  we may be able to determine the factors that affect their size.

o Southeast Rim of Hale Crater
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038904_1430

  The central peak of Hale Crater is a common target for recurring
  slope lineae, but an image of the rim might help us see if they
  occur elsewhere.

o Triple-Crater in Elysium Planitia
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039147_1940

  This image shows a triple impact crater that probably formed when a
  binary--or even triple--asteroid struck the surface.

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.
