Geologic mapping and characterization of Gale Crater and implications for its potential as a Mars Science Laboratory landing site

Background: Gale Crater is located at 5.3°S, 222.3°W (137.7°E) and has a diameter of ~155 km. It has b een a ta rget o f p articular i nterest d ue to the > 5 k m t all m ound o f layered material that occupies the center of the c rater. Gale Crater is currently one of four finalist landing s ites for the Mars Science Laboratory rover. Method: We used visible (CTX, HiRISE, MOC), infrared (THEMI...

Investigation of the Extent of the Apollinaris Patera Ash Deposits: Implications for the Origin of the Columbia Hills

Introduction: The rocks of Gusev Crater around the Spirit landing site are mainly olivine-bearing basalts [1-3], and are thought to have crystallized from lava with low viscosity [4]. These rocks are dark in color, vesicular, fine-grained, and have coatings of dust in varying degrees [5, 6]. However, the bedrock outcrops of the Columbia Hills are remarkably different from those near the landing...
