Ranger (Crater)

Ranger ( born Ranger [1] ) is a small Martian impact crater located on the plateau of Meridian . The coordinates of the crater - . The crater was simultaneously inspected by the Opportunity rover January 22-24, 2009 (1776-1779 sol ), while he was moving towards the much larger Endeavor Crater [1] . The diameter of the crater is about 15 meters . Around and inside the crater there is a lot of rock that was ejected during impact, which formed this crater. Most of the crater is covered with sand. To the north of it (at 1284 m ) is the large Victoria Crater (which has been exploring Opportunity for 2 years), south-east ( 80 m ) - Surveyor crater, and south-west ( 337 m ) - Halfmoon crater. Studies of the crater were limited to its visual inspection (of no scientific value).
