The scientific high-resolution imaging tool "HiRISE" on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has sent a massive influx of images of the surface of Mars, which can be viewed easily on the site of the University of Arizona's lunar and planetary laboratory, the destination Supervising his manufacture.
Hayreys has been with the MRO on Mars since March 2006 until now despite the fact that its mission has been exceeded, and it is considered the largest telescope launched into deep space, with the aim of taking high-resolution images of Mars, which allows to distinguish objects smaller than one meter .
Herayes' newest photo
One of the latest pictures of "Herayes" is an image of the erosion of a sedimentary rock on Mars from the Meridiani Planum, near the equator on the planet.
It is the same area where NASA's Opportunity Rover landed in 2004. It was the second unmanned spacecraft to be sent to Mars on a mission to search for water and study its rocks and soil, and its mission ended in 2018.
The last image appears from inside a huge nozzle, although the edges of the nozzle are not shown in the picture.
The nozzle resulted from the impact of a rock that was moved by wind or water, and then the rock deposits deposited the bottom of the hole and settled in the form of layers, and the subsequent erosion of these rocks revealed a ladder-like pattern, which confirms that these deposits were larger than before, but this is all Remain of it now.
It is
worth noting that the region of Meridian Planeum on Mars is worthy of observation and study for a number of reasons, including the presence of hematite, which is related to the presence of liquid water, it is deposited by the action of water, and then it forms at the bottom, and it is also possible that hematite consists of hot springs, for this The reason is that Opportunity Rover was sent there to see the possibility of water on the Red Planet.
Opportunity Rover discovered balls of hematite called "blueberries" by NASA because of their size and shape, and this indicates that water was present in the past, and this discovery caused a sensation at that time.
Mars's "blueberries" are iron ore minerals that were created during periodic periods of humid climates on the planet.
As for the Mars Orbital Explorer - and the associated "HiRISE" tool - it's still powerful, this tool is not just an orbital camera and a host of other tools.
The explorer transmits the data of the robots on the surface of Mars to the antennas of the deep space network, which contributes to doubling the productivity of missions operating on the surface of the planet.
