        I did some work with MOLA data about 10 years ago when I was finishing my undergrad at EKU. It was a very fun project.

        I used the geology of Olympus Mons as a capstone project for both my GIS and Mars Geology courses.

          I’ve seen posts that used the MOLA data with the orbital images of Mars to make 3D images of the terrain… Amazing stuff :)

    Yeah, we really are entering a new phase of this mission. There is a whole world out there to investigate beyond Gale Crater, but sometimes I think one mission isn’t enough for this place.

      Fully agreed, with the expected life of a the rover’s MMRTG, one mission was never going to be enough to investigate inside the crater, let alone the terrain outside the crater.
