Mars Express shoots Kasei Vallis outflow channel EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY NEWS RELEASE Posted: February 22, 2004
This vertical view shows the mouth of Kasei Vallis, one of the largest outflow channels on Mars, taken by Mars Express. The image was taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board Mars Express during orbit 61 from an altitude of 272 km. The resolution is 12 metres per pixel. The image centre is located at 29.8 degrees north and 309 degrees east, the image width is 130 km, North is up. The part of the outflow channel seen in this image has most probably been carved by glaciers or gigantic water-related outflows known from terrestrial subglacial lakes. The blackish-blue color is related to sediments. The bright streaks oriented NE-SW are related to wind forces.
