Most Marsquakes observed by the InSight lander occured 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.
