Flow features potentially related to pitted cones in southern Utopia Planitia, Mars

Pitted cones are widely distributed on Mars, with a particularly high density in the northern plains, including southern Utopia Planitia, Isidis Planitia, and Acidalia Planitia. Pitted cones are small-scale conical landforms characterized by circular or elliptical craters at the top, with clearly discernible flanks and distinct boundaries.

Evaluation and Analysis of Dust Storm Activity in Tianwen-1 Landing Area Based on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Camera Observations and Mars Daily Global Maps

Remote Sensing, 2021
The first Mars exploration mission from China (Tianwen-1) was launched on 23 July 2020 with the goal of “orbiting, landing, and roving”. The occurrence of dust storm activities is an important criterion of assessing atmospheric risk for the Tianwen-1 ...
