Some of those areas have NO features at all!! Even with a descent camera - I wonder how easy localisation will be Actually - given MRO's huge swath width and resolution, easy Doug |

In a way I hope it does land in a pretty blank place. After the MERs, I would hate to land with something interesting just poking out from behind a hill or just out of reach of the arm. I think for those of us obsessed with imagery, this mission will get frustrating once the initial pan is taken, although images of its activities, different times of day, and frosts it might or might not spot (and clouds, now that I think of it) might mitigate this somewhat.
