Orbital images of Mars
See every image of a place on Mars, then open it in JMARS
Type a crater, volcano or landing site. The atlas shows what THEMIS, HiRISE and CTX have photographed there, with a preview of each image, its files, and the exact steps to load it in JMARS, ASU's free desktop GIS for Mars.
Try Jezero, Gale, Olympus Mons or Korolev.

Places to start
Landing sites
- Crater, 48 kmJezeroNASA's Perseverance rover landed here in February 2021. The crater once held a lake, and a river delta still fans out on its western side.
- Crater, 154 kmGaleCuriosity landed here in August 2012 and has been climbing the layered mountain in the middle, Aeolis Mons, ever since.
- Crater, 158 kmGusevThe Spirit rover landed in this crater in January 2004 and explored the Columbia Hills inside it.
- Crater, 22 kmEndeavourThe Opportunity rover reached this crater's rim in 2011 and explored it until its last contact in 2018.
- Planitia, 3,560 kmUtopia PlanitiaA vast northern plain. Viking 2 landed on it in 1976, and China's Zhurong rover in 2021.
- Planitia, 1,542 kmChryse PlanitiaViking 1 landed on this plain in July 1976 and kept working there for more than six years.
Volcanoes
- Mons, 610 kmOlympus MonsThe largest volcano in the solar system, about 600 km across. The search covers its summit calderas.
- Mons, 470 kmArsia MonsThe southernmost of the three great Tharsis volcanoes, with a summit caldera over 100 km wide.
Canyons and basins
- Vallis, 3,761 kmValles MarinerisA canyon system nearly 4,000 km long. The search covers a stretch near its center.
- Planitia, 2,299 kmHellas PlanitiaThe floor of one of the largest impact basins in the solar system, about 2,300 km across and the lowest ground on Mars.
Water and ice
- Crater, 62 kmEberswaldeHome to one of the clearest ancient river deltas on Mars, with meandering channels preserved in the rock.
- Crater, 153 kmHoldenA crater with layered lake sediments. It was one of the final four landing sites considered for Curiosity.
- Vallis, 635 kmMawrth VallisAn old outflow channel cut through layers rich in clay minerals, which form in water.
- Fossa, 728 kmNili FossaeA set of long troughs where orbiters have mapped clays and carbonates, some of the most varied minerals seen on Mars.
- Crater, 81 kmKorolevAn 81 km crater near the north pole that stays filled with water ice all year.
Start here, finish in JMARS
This atlas is a front door, not a replacement. Use it to find the right image fast. Then do the real work in JMARS: layering, measuring, crater counting and mapping, with ASU's tools and support. Every image page gives you the JMARS layer and the image ID to type.
