Another image on the hunt for recurring slope lineae (RSL): there were excellent RSL candidates in a 2014 observation with much better examples than the RSL site located just to the northwest, so we want to monitor this one instead. We also want to take a closer look at the bedrock. Melas Chasma is the widest segment of the Valles Marineris canyon, and is an area where MRO has detected the presence of sulfates.
