Fig. 3

a Elevation distribution map near the landing site, where black dots represent the extracted rims of crater C1 on the north side of the landing site, red dots are the fitted centers of crater C1 and Crater C2, and the red cross marks the landing site. The base map is the CE6_LCAM_DEM shaded relief map; b elevation profiles between the centers of surrounding craters and the landing site (corresponding to AB and BC in panel (a)); c the high-resolution image of crater C2, and (d) the high-resolution image of crater C3, concentric structures can be clearly seen on the crater walls. The continuous red line represents the outer rim of the concentric crater, while the dashed red line indicates its inner rim; e, f bidirectional slope distribution and RMS height distribution maps near the landing area.
