The objective of this observation is to determine the nature of layers in a mound in Rayleigh Crater. The layers may be mantle layers and with high resolution, the differences in those layers may give us insight concerning past climates. Rayleigh is approximately 149 kilometers in diameter and is located in the South Polar region of Mars.
