Labyrinthus which may contain signatures of iron bearing
sulfates and phyllosilcate (clay) minerals. This is an enhanced-
color view generated from images acquired by the High Resolution
Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). Images from the HiRISE instrument
and additional information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
are available online at: http://HiRISE.lpl.arizona.edu and
http://www.nasa.gov/mro. JPL, a division of the California
Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA's Science Mission Directorate,
Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems is the prime
contractor for the project and built the spacecraft. The HiRISE
camera was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation
and is operated by the University of Arizona. Last Update: 8 Jun
