HiPOD: Textures of Amazonis

This observation was requested to look at some unusual surface textures in Amazonis Planitia. Some of the terrain grades into ridges that could possibly be invasive dikes or lava intruding into overlying ash.

HiPOD: A Diverse Layered Section of Nirgal Vallis

Based on data from the CaSSIS instrument, this target was requested in order to provide some additional color coverage and to center on a discrete reddish layer in the exposed section of this terrain.

HiPOD: Slope and Gully Monitoring

Our science goal is to monitor frost in active gullies in Moni Crater. Additionally, we want to observe lineae associated with sand dunes on the eastern rim of the crater

HiPOD: Ice Block Avalanche

One of the most actively changing areas on Mars are the steep edges of the North Polar layered deposits. This image shows many new ice blocks compared to an earlier image in December 2006.

HiPOD: Chaos Terrain

This image shows chaos terrain on Mars’ equator. Especially interesting are bedrock exposures, which provide information about the geologic history of Mars.

HiPOD: A Great Dark Spot

This observation targets a pit partially filled with layered material and surrounded by banded terrain, as seen in Context Camera data . The relationship between the banded terrain and the layered material in the pit is unclear.

HiPOD: Defrosting Dunes

This image shows a field a sand dunes while seasonal carbon dioxide frost is sublimating. This process is not at all uniform, creating a pattern of dark spots with bright frost in the troughts of polygons.

HiPOD: Gullies in the Depths of Hellas

For this image, HiRISE targeted a relatively fresh crater where previous images from the MRO Context Camera appeared to show gullies.

HiPOD: Sediment Ponds in Tithonium Chasma

This survey of the canyon floor reveals terrain of two distinct ages. The slopes and hilltops here are made up of rough rocky outcrop that was sculpted by impact craters of all sizes.

HiRISE 3D: Topographic Interactions in Athabasca Valles

The request for this image was to retarget for an observation centered on the interactions between lava, topography, and a fissure.

HiPOD: Hydrated Sulfates in Melas Chasma

The bright materials are likely to be sediments rich in the hydrated sulfates, and this image shows that most of the material is covered by a thin deposit of dark material, perhaps sand.

HiPOD: Rocky Mesas of the Nilosyrtis Mensae Region

This image targets a portion of a group of honeycomb-textured landforms in northwestern Hellas Planitia, which is part of one of the largest and most ancient impact basins on Mars.

HiPOD: Layered Ice near the South Pole of Mars

The two largest ice sheets in the inner solar system are here on Earth, Antarctica and Greenland. The third largest is at the South Pole of Mars and a small part of it is shown here.
