The objective of this obsevation is to examine small channels in the southwestern portion of Flaugergues Crater. These channels appear to be in within ejecta, so perhaps they formed from ejecta heat-melting ground ice. Flaugergues is about 245 kilometers in diameter and was named after Honore Flaugergues, a French astronomer (1755-1835).
