TELEPHONE: (818) 354-5011/ PHOTO CAPTION (TOP) P-29512 B/W/ U-2-31/ 1/26/86/ Miranda, innermost of Uranus' large satellites, is seen at/ close range in this Voyager 2 image, taken Jan. 24, 1986,/ as part of a high-resolution mosaicking sequence. Voyager was/ some 36,000 kilometers (22,000 miles) away from Miranda./ This clear-filter, narrow-angle image shows an area about 250/ km (150 mi) across, at a resolution of about 800 meters/ (2,600 feet). Two distinct terrain types are visible: a/ rugged, higher-elevation terrain (right) and a lower,/ striated terrain. Numerous craters on the rugged, higher/ terrain indicate that it is older than the lower terrain./ Several scarps, probably faults, cut the different terrains./ The impact crater in the lower part of this image is about 25/ km (15 mi) across. The Voyager project is managed for NASA/ by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory./ #####
