The Eastern Part of the Floor of Alba Patera
Alba Patera is a primary volcanic center of Mars that holds potential for further understanding of Martian geology and magmatism. The objective of this observation is to examine the physical properties of a plot of land upon a prominent summit caldera on Alba Patera. The targeted feature appears to be a dynamic area of changing elevation and ridges that has not yet been analyzed and should be examined.
This was a public targeting suggestion through our HiWish program.
