Fig. 3: Contexts and investigation targets around the Zhurong landing site.

From: Geomorphic contexts and science focus of the Zhurong landing site on Mars

Fig. 3

a, The topography and major geological features around the landing site (35 × 38 km2). The red cross indicates the Zhurong landing site. Green solid lines represent the troughs. Cones are outlined with black lines. White boxes mark the positions of c and Supplementary Fig. 4. b, North–south topographic profile across the Zhurong landing site (dashed grey line B–B′ in a). c, An accessible investigation region (2.3 × 3.5 km2). The position of d is marked with a white dashed box. The white curve represents the route that the rover has travelled. Yellow arrows denote subsequent travelling directions and five detection targets. d, A detailed view of the current travelling route of the rover; the coloured points represent the locations where images eh were taken. e,g, Panoramas taken by the NaTeCams showing the rocky field and a barchan-like TAR. f,h, The rock images collected by the MSCam (R 650 nm, G 525 nm, B 480 nm); the exposed rock surfaces may be modified by wind erosion. Note that the red crosses on the images represent the detection positions of MarSCoDe; the targets are the rock surfaces with less dust coverage. Credit: CNSA/GRAS.
