About this work

This image shows a possible landing site for the 2020 Mission: Jezero Crater, as seen by NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It's not only when trying to find a scientifically interesting place to land that the high-resolution images from HiRISE come in handy: it's also to identify potential hazards within a landing ellipse. This is one of the trickier aspects of selecting landing sites on Mars: a place to do good science but also where the risks of landing are low.
