HiRISE (NASA)
HiRISE is a high resolution camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (NASA). We take images of the surface of Mars. Based out of UArizona in Tucson.

HiRISE 3D: Shadows and Slopes
A simple objective here: to look for any changes on this crater wall from an earlier observation.

HiPOD: Gully Monitoring
Scientists monitor the many pristine gullies on Mars to find changes and determine the seasons when they are most active. This image will be compared to a prior image with very similar lighting and viewing angles to search for any changes. The cutout has enhanced colors.

HiClip mini 4K: Λάθε βιώσας (Live Hidden)
This observation was acquired to fill in HiRISE coverage where CRISM data already exists.
This is a non-narrated clip with ambient sound.
HiRISE 3D: Flecks of Ice
There’s a polar theme with our 3D pics! This image shows layered deposits at the edge of a scarp.

HiPOD: Boulders Tumbling Down a Mesa in Cassini Crater
This image shows layered mesas in Cassini Crater. The cutout highlights boulders that have tumbled down the hill of one mesa. Two dark streaks that end at boulders may mark very recent events.

HiPOD: Drainage Divide Migration in Tyrrhena Terra
A profiling method can determine the history of drainage migration in bedrock-erosion landscapes, but only with high-resolution terrain models as input. HiRISE stereo was requested as Context Camera digital terrain model resolution would likely not be adequate for this purpose.

HiRISE Epigrammata
“Now small fowls flew, screaming over the yet yawning gulf; a sullen white surf beat against its steep sides; then all collapsed, and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.”
—Herman Melville, “Moby Dick”
HiRISE 10K: A Bounty of Dark Dunes
The North Polar layered deposits (NPLD) are a stack of dusty water-ice layers that are thought to record information about past Martian climates.

HiRISE 3D: Rappeler’s Delight!
Scarps such as this have either active mass wasting or potential for current mass wasting. Comparison to previous years helps to document new activity in scarp erosion.

HiPOD: Eroded Sedimentary Rock Layers
The layered sedimentary rocks of Mars are of interest as indicators of ancient climate change. This scene was also captured in stereo so stereo anaglyphs are available to show the dramatic steep slopes of this eroded landscape.

HiRISE 8K: Streaks Emanating from Hale Crater
This image shows areas of bedrock (light areas) that appear to have been grooved or scoured in a uniform direction.

HiRISE 3D: Alluvial Fans in Southeastern Mojave Crater
Love, love, LUV Mojave Crater! Our objective is to characterize grain and topographic shape.

HiPOD: Fractures in West Candor Chasma
Our objective for this observation is change detection of youthful fractures observed in an image we acquired in 2007. Are these fractures active? These layers have been shifted along faults and also folded, giving the layers a wavy appearance as they are exposed at the surface through erosion.

HiRISE 4K: Chryse Planitia Surfaces
This image shows part of the surface of Chryse Planitia, near the mouth of several of the giant outflow channels carved by massive floods. At this location the channel is much too large to be seen within a HiRISE image, and this shows an area of level plains near the mouth.

HiRISE 3D Extra: High-Latitude Exposure of North Polar Layered Deposits
Stereo was requested for this location because MOLA data is very sparse here.
