Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Nili Fossae graben system is an area of great geological interest, near the giant Isidis impact basin, northeast of the Syrtis Major volcanic province.

The graben system contains numerous troughs, one of which can be seen crossing the lower left of this image. On the plateau above, several depressions can be seen, some of them extending into the trough. A large, 55 km-diameter impact crater with a central pit can be seen on the right.

This colour-coded topographic view is based on a digital terrain model of the region, from which the topography of the landscape can be derived. White and red show the highest terrains, while blue and purple show the deepest.

This image was created using data from the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express on 16 October 2014 during orbit 13699. It is centred on 75°E / 24°N. The ground resolution is about 18 m per pixel. North is to the right, east is up.

Deutsch: Die Gräben des Nils: Beobachtungsziel von Marssonden in der Nähe des Landeplatzes von "Beagle 2"

Die Nili Fossae, (lat.: Gräben des Nils), fielen den Astronomen bereits im vergangenen Jahrhundert auf, als der Mars nur mit Teleskopen von der Erde aus beobachtet werden konnte. Am Ostrand des großen Isidis-Einschlagsbeckens mit der Vulkanregion Syrtis Major bilden die mehrere hundert Kilometer langen Grabenbrüche von Nili Fossae ein konzentrisches, parallel zum Rand des Beckens verlaufendes Muster. Instrumente an Bord der aktuellen Marsorbiter haben gezeigt, dass die Mineralogie in dieser Gegend sehr vielseitig und ungewöhnlich ist. Die vom Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) betriebene Stereokamera HRSC auf Mars Express fotografierte die Nili Fossae am 16. Oktober 2014.

Das Gebiet befindet sich bei 75 Grad östlicher Länge und 24 Grad nördlicher Breite, nordwestlich von Isidis Planitia, einem Becken von etwa 1500 Kilometern Durchmesser. Isidis war als Landestelle für die Mars Express-Landesonde Beagle 2 vorgesehen, deren Verbleib seit dem Abtrennen vom Orbiter am 19. Dezember 2003 ungewiss war: Beagle 2 hätte am 25. Dezember 2003 landen sollen, hat sich aber nie mehr mit einem Funksignal bei der Muttersonde gemeldet. Erst jetzt wurde der verschollene Lander auf Bildern des Mars Reconnaissance-Orbiters der NASA wieder entdeckt. Auf diesen Bildern ist zu erkennen, dass Beagle 2 zumindest nicht auf dem Boden zerschellt ist, da zwei oder sogar drei seiner Sonnensegel ausgeklappt sind. Vermutlich war die Antenne aber nicht einsatzfähig.
