A new satellite orbiting Mars just sent home some amazing new images of the red planet's crags and eroticism definitationcliffs.
The Trace Gas Orbiter -- part of the joint ExoMars mission run by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Russia -- beamed back the images gathered on Nov. 22, during the spacecraft's first close flyby of the world.

Others were taken when the spacecraft was flying thousands of kilometers from Mars.
The flyover video shows craters, mountains and dark streaks dotting various regions, including one known as Arsia Chasmata, near the large Martian volcano known as Arsia Mons.

The new photos were taken as part of an instrument test for the spacecraft, which successfully made it to Mars on Oct. 19.
“We are extremely happy and proud to see that all the instruments are working so well in the Mars environment, and this first impression gives a fantastic preview of what’s to come when we start collecting data for real at the end of next year,” Håkan Svedhem, Trace Gas Orbiter scientist, said in a statement.
Via GiphyThe ExoMars mission as a whole is designed to hunt for signs of life on the red planet. The Trace Gas Orbiter itself is built to sniff out gases in the atmosphere like methane that could indicate either extinct or living life on Mars.
The orbiter launched to Mars with the Schiaparelli lander, however, Schiaparelli failed in its attempt to softly touch down on the red planet. Due to a malfunction with its navigation system, the lander ended up crashing into the planet's surface.
In 2020, the ESA and Russia are planning to launch another ExoMars mission that is expected to deliver a rover and landing platform to the planet's surface.
The next mission is designed to drill beneath the surface of Mars and search for signs of life.
