MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
November 25, 2015

o Inverted Meandering Rivers at a Possible Future Mars Landing Site

  This image contains interesting examples of crosscutting, sinuous
  and straight ridges.

o A Youthful Crater in the Cydonia Colles Region

  Complex craters as small as this one are uncommon and may provide
  clues to the lithology of the rocks underground.

o Down in the Paleochannels

  One hypothesis for TAR formation is that larger grains like pebbles
  are rolled on top of smaller ripples and then, finer dust settles
  into the cracks, "inflating" the pebbles.

o A Landing Site for ExoMars 2016

  In March 2016, the European Space Agency in partnership with Roscosmos
  will launch the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. We helped them choose a safe landing spot.
