This annotated image of Mars Jezero Crater depicts the route NASA’s Perseverance rover will take during its first science campaign – as well as its path to the location of its second science campaign. The image was provided by the High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE) aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance orbiter.
Perseverance’s first science campaign sends the rover south and west of the Octavia E. Butler Landing Site to investigate and sample several of the deepest, and potentially oldest, accessible geologic units in Jezero Crater – the “Séítah” unit (which in Navajo language means “amidst the sand”), and the “Cratered Floor Fractured Rough.” At the completion of the science campaign, Perseverance will return to the “Octavia E. Butler” landing site on its way north, then head west toward the location where its second science campaign will begin.

The High-Resolution Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) took this image of the Perseverance rover on Feb. 24, 2021. The false-color image shows a ring of blast marks where thrusters from the rover’s descent stage blew away dust during landing on Feb. 18, 2021.
By rolling MRO to the side (18 degrees for this image) as it passes over Perseverance every few days, the mission team enables HiRISE to see the rover. Perseverance is about 10 feet by 9 feet (3 by 2.7 meters) in size and is about 180 miles (290 kilometers) away from HiRISE in this image.
MRO’s mission is managed by NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Lockheed Martin Space in Denver built the spacecraft. The University of Arizona in Tucson provided and operates HiRISE.

Tithonium Chasma is one big canyon. At a staggering 810 kilometres (503 miles) long, it s a large part of Valles Marineris - the biggest canyon system we know of in the whole Solar System.
This close-up image of the chasma was taken back in 2013 by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and was just featured as the HiRISE Picture of the Day.
The image shows around a kilometre (0.6 miles) of Mars terrain with torturous hills and valleys, but as you can see in the other images, when you start to zoom out, this is just one small section of a gigantic whole.
hirise condo leaves one of these two people dead, the other heading to court this morning. details on the alleged murder by footwear next. and, concerns about google, how much does it know about vo: traveling you definitely end up meeting a lot more people but
