Mars - Gale Crater Region - Gale Crater area on planet Mars - View of...

IMAGE number
PIX4615396
Image title
Mars - Gale Crater Region - Gale Crater area on planet Mars - View of the region of the impact crater Gale in which the Curiosity rover will be installed in 2012. This crater (in the top center of the picture) is 154 km in diameter. Image recomposed from data obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor probe. This computer - generated view depicts part of Mars at the boundary between darkness and daylight, with an area including Gale Crater beginning to catch morning light. Northward is to the left. Gale is the crater with a mound inside it near the center of the image. NASA has selected Gale as the landing site for the Mars Science Laboratory mission. The mission's rover will be placed on the ground in a northern portion of Gale crater in August 2012. Gale crater is 96 miles (154 kilometers) in diameter and holds a layered mountain rising about 3 miles (5 kilometers) above the crater floor. The intended landing site is at 4.5 degrees south latitude, 137.4 degrees east longitude. This view was created using three - dimensional information from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter, which flew on Nasa's Mars Global Surveyor orbiter. The vertical dimension is not exaggerated. Color information is based on general March color characteristics
