A post shared by NASA (nasa) NASA released new images on Wednesday showing a gorgeous panorama of Mars taken by its newly-landed Perseverance rover. The Face on Mars This high-resolution image from the Mars Orbiter Camera about the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft shows the famous 'Face on Mars' in detail, clearly showing it to be a natural geological formation. High-resolution images of Cydonia, Freie Universitt Berlin Mars. Mapping sub-pixel surface roughness on Mars using high- resolution satellite image data, Geophys. The picture has a resolution of 14.1 feet (4.3 meters) per pixel, making it ten times higher resolution than the best previous image of the feature, which was. The High Resolution Stereo Camera photos include some of. Cydonia is a region on the planet Mars that has attracted both scientific and popular. Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC)įrom Baker Street to Mars: Sherloc contains an ultraviolet laser that will investigate Martian rock for organic compounds. ESAs Mars Express has obtained images of the Cydonia region, site of the famous Face on Mars. A scaled-up version could be used in future to provide Martian colonists with breathable air.Ī suite of instruments for measuring the makeup of rocks and regolith at a distanceĪ camera system capable of taking “3D” images by combining two or more photos into one.ħ. Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA)Ī bunch of sensors that will take readings of temperature, wind speed and direction, pressure, and other atmospheric conditions.Īn experiment that will convert Martian carbon dioxide into oxygen. Radar Imager for Mars' subsurface experiment (RIMFAX)Ī ground-penetrating radar that will image buried rocks, meteorites, and even possible underground water sources up to a depth of 10 metres (33ft).ģ.

Planetary Instrument for X-Ray Lithochemistry (PIXL)Īn X-ray “ray gun” that will help scientists investigate the composition of Martian rock.Ģ. The teams at NASA stitched them together to create the instrument's first 360-degree panorama.This is the first high-definition look at Jezero Crater, the site of a 3.9 billion-year-old dry lake.
