Characterizing Impact-Related Deposits and Flows in Xanthe Terra

To Survey the Land
Our science goal is to observe how surface flow patterns in the area vary with distance from the proposed parent crater. This is one of several flow feature observations being suggested in the vicinity of the well-preserved crater to the west of this location in Xanthe Terra, which is just north of the Martian equator.
