Monitor Gorgonum Chaos Mesas

Monitor Gorgonum Chaos Mesas

Mesa Monitoring
There were lots of recurring slope lineae (RSL) candidates in an earlier observation of this area of Gorgonum Chaos that we acquired after a planet-encircling dust event on Mars in 2018. Our science goal is to confirm any RSL and look for changes. “Chaos terrain” is typified by regions of blocky, often steep sided, mesas interspersed with deep valleys.
