Amendment 49: Corrections to C.13 Science Transport and Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration

A visualization from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) showing the diverse geological landscape of Mars' Gale Crater that NASA's Curiosity rover has been exploring. The image captures a steep slope with distinct layered rock formations in varied colors including reddish-brown, tan, and purplish hues. The upper portion of the image shows the Gediz Vallis channel, while below are visible bands of sedimentary deposits created over millions of years. These layers contain sulfates and other minerals that formed as water evaporated, providing evidence of Mars' ancient watery past. The terrain's rich geological variation offers crucial information about Mars' climate history and potential habitability for microbial life approximately 3.7 billion years ago. This enhanced color image was created in March 2024 using data from the HiRISE camera and other instruments aboard MRO.
