The spacecraft was thus able to wait until the storm abated, the dust settled and the surface was clearly visible before compiling its global mosaic of high-quality images of the surface of Mars. [1] It also provided the first closeup pictures of Mars’ two small, irregular moons, Phobos and Deimos. [1] Mission: orbit Mars; Mass 998 kg (2,200 lb)
The camera looks straight up from the deck of the CubeSat. Parts related to the spacecraft's high-gain antenna are visible on either side of the image. Mars appears as a small red dot at the right of the image. In order to take the image, the team had to program the CubeSat to rotate in space so that the deck of its boxy "body" was pointing at ...
A typical image from HRSC of Mars has a resolution ranging from 12.5 for nadir (directly down) to 25 m/pixel for the farthest off-nadir shots, which can be up to 18.9 degrees. [2] By 2012, about 61.5% of the surface of Mars was mapped at a resolution of at least 20 meters per pixel by the Mars Express mission using this camera. [3]
Just after the discovery of water on the Red Planet, another image reveals the complexity of Mars. HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) captured a photograph of what appears to be a ...
