Traverse Ramp in East Coprates Chasma

Future Travels in East Coprates Chasma
From the science rationale: “We are exploring rotorcraft mission concepts that would explore geology in Coprates Canyon, specifically low-calcium pyroxene which reflects pristine crustal material in this location. This concept may require traverse between the Valles Marineris floor and the plateau.”
