Dune Monitoring in Milankovic Crater

Dune Monitoring in Milankovic Crater

Dunes in Milankovic Crater
The science goal for this observation is to study seasonal dune and frost monitoring, as well as obtain detailed surface measurements. The CRISM instrument on MRO was requested to “ride along” for this target to assist with frost detection. This is also an example of when different instruments are used together to get more details and coverage of a target.
