Craters-Unnamed_Crater_with_Small_Dunefield-PCF-LXTT.jpgUnnamed Crater with Dunefield (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C . Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia)136 visiteCaption NASA:"The Floor of this Unnamed Crater, located to the East of Proctor Crater, contains two types of Dunes. To the North (Sx), there are coalescing small Individual Dunes. At the Southern end of the group of small Dunes, then, there is a large Linear Dune that is becoming a Sand-Sheet".MareKromium

Craters-Gale_Crater-PIA14290-PCF-LXTT.jpgGale Crater (Enhanced Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)194 visiteNASA has selected Gale cCrater as the Landing Site for the Mars Science Laboratory Mission. The Rover will be placed on the ground in a Northern portion of the Crater in August 2012. This view of Gale is a mosaic of observations made in the Visible-Light portion of the Spectrum by the Thermal Emission Imaging System camera on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter.
Gale crater is roughly 96 miles (about 154 Km) in diameter and holds a layered mountain rising about 3 miles (approx. 5 Km) above the Crater Floor. The ellipse superimposed in this image indicates the intended Landing Area, which is 12,4 miles (about 20 Km) by 15,5 miles (about 25 Km). The portion of the Crater within the Landing Area has an Alluvial Fan likely formed by water-carried sediments. The lower layers of the nearby mountain -- within driving distance for Curiosity -- contain minerals indicating a wet history.
The intended landing site is at 4,5° South Latitude and 137,4° East Longitude.
The Mars Science Laboratory Spacecraft is being prepared for launch during the period Nov. 25 to Dec. 18, 2011. In a prime mission lasting one Martian year -- nearly two Earth years -- after landing, researchers will use the Rover's tools to study whether the landing region has had environmental conditions favorable for supporting microbial life and for preserving clues about whether life existed.MareKromium

Craters-Unnamed_Crater-PIA03583-PCF-LXTT.jpgUnnamed Crater with unusually-looking Ejecta Blanket (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)120 visiteCaption NASA:"This Unnamed Crater is located to the South of Agassiz Crater. It is likely that the polar freeze/thaw/frost cycle is responsible for unusual appearance of the Ejecta Region around it".

Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia)175 visiteCaption NASA:"This image shows part of Ius Chasma, the Western End of the Valles Marineris Canyon System. The Landslide in this image is difficult to see due to dust cover.
In general, it can be said that there is more dust in the Western part of Valles Marineris than anywhere else in the Chasma System".
