Mars Perseverance Sol 14: Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its onboard Left Navigation Camera (Navcam). The camera is located high on the rover’s mast and aids in driving. These images were acquired on Mar. 5, 2021 (Sol 14) at the local mean solar time of 14:52:51.
Sol (borrowed from the Latin word for sun) is a solar day on Mars; that is, a Mars-day. A sol is the apparent interval between two successive returns of the Sun to the same meridian (sundial time) as seen by an observer on Mars. It is one of several units for timekeeping on Mars. A sol is slightly longer than an Earth day.
Mars Perseverance Sol 44: Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover acquired these images using its onboard Right Navigation Camera (Navcam). The camera is located high on the rover’s mast and aids in driving. These images were acquired on Apr. 4, 2021 (Sol 44) at the local mean solar time of 14:02:08.
English: This panorama of Jezero crater on Mars concatenates five images subsequently acquired by the left navigation camera on March 29, 2021 at the local mean solar time between 16:20:08 and 16:21:07, soon after NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was extended vertically into place after being rotated outward from its horizontal position on the belly of the Perseverance rover.
Phobos orbits so fast (with a period of just under one third of a sol) that it rises in the west and sets in the east, and does so twice per sol; Deimos on the other hand rises in the east and sets in the west, but orbits only a few hours slower than a Martian sol, so it spends about two and a half sols above the horizon at a time.
New images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter may show where life first began on Mars. The site on southern Mars shows massive deposits in a basin that scientists say were formed a long ...
An image of MarsDial MarsDial on Spirit rover on Mars. The MarsDial is a sundial that was devised for missions to Mars. It is used to calibrate the Pancam cameras of the Mars landers. MarsDials were placed on the Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers, inscribed with the words "Two worlds, One sun" and the word "Mars" in 22 languages. [1]
