Here’s your chance to make scientific history. NASA is inviting the public to help choose sites on Mars to point a high-powered camera as part of a visual survey of the Red Planet.
The HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has shot over 13,000 images already. Now NASA is opening up the opportunity to the public.
Use the new HiWish online tool to study the Mars map, decide what would be a worth target and why. Then submit your suggestion to the mission and wait to see if it gets selected.
The yellow dot pinpoints the landing site of Viking Lander 2 on Utopia Planitia. Viking 2 landed within the ejecta of 65-mile wide Mie Crater.
REALscience submitted a target suggestion — the southern crater wall of the Mie Crater, seen above. This giant crater, likely made by a big asteroid or comet impact, could reveal clues to early Mars and probably hides some of its icy secrets in the shadowy part of the crater.
