HiPOD: Week of 28 July 2025

	Faults on the Rim of Orcus Patera Most Marsquakes observed by the InSight lander occurred in Cerberus Fossae, which is tectonically well-understood. A few events, however, have taken place in regions where no young faults had been mapped so far. One such event is currently located in the Orcus Patera. This public target request asks for HiRISE images of fault systems to estimate their age.
	A Crater Still Life Also visible in Context Camera data, the objective of this observation is to examine the wall of a large impact crater located to the northeast of Hellas Planitia. The image provides us with a clear view of rocks at the rim of the crater.
	Not the Spine of the World The objective of this observation is to determine the nature of a ridge located between two (geologically) fresh impact craters near Mamers Valles on Mars. The surfaces on either side of the ridge appear very different from each other.
	Ridges in Acidalia Planitia The goal of this observation is to investigate the structure of these ridges as well as their superposition and crosscutting relationships with adjacent geologic units and landforms. The mounds here are likely mud volcanoes, which are prevalent in southern Acidalia Planitia.
	Low Latitude Landslide The objective of this observation is to examine an old landslide along the southern wall of large impact crater. Pictures like this may help us better understand how landscapes change over time. The scene is also available in Context Camera data.
