Mars Color Imager on the right side. The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) is a wide-angle, relatively low-resolution camera built for Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. MARCI views the surface of Mars in five visible and two ultraviolet bands. Each day, MARCI collects about 84 images and produces a global map with pixel resolutions ...
The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) is a wide-angle, relatively low-resolution camera that views the surface of Mars in five visible and two ultraviolet bands. Each day, MARCI collects about 84 images and produces a global map with pixel resolutions of 1 to 10 km (0.62 to 6.21 mi).
Mastcam-Z's Color Calibration Targets (lower right) as seen on Mars. In order to accurately represent and analyze images of the martian surface, the Perseverance rover carries two swatches of known colors. Mastcam-Z frequently images these calibration targets to gauge the proper color balance and reflectance properties of its targets. [7]
Mars is often referred to as the "Red Planet" because of the rusty, reddish-orange sandscape blanketing the planet. That comes into sharp focus in our first color photo snapped by the Mars ...

He was the Principal Investigator on the Mars Color Imager (MARSI) (1998), a two-camera system designed to observe the color of Mars. He had the same role for the 1999 Mars Polar Lander (which mysteriously failed to report back any data). Malin and his team helped build THEMIS (Thermal Emission Imaging System) on the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission.
Mars Color Imager on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. One of the most successful of their instruments to date was the Mars Observer Camera (MOC), on board the Mars Global Surveyor placed into orbit around Mars in September 1997. From that date until November 2006, the MOC took more than 243,000 images of Mars, some at very high resolution.
MAHLI can take true-color images at 1600×1200 pixels with a resolution as high as 14.5 micrometers per pixel. [1] MAHLI has an 18.3 mm to 21.3 mm focal length and a 33.8- to 38.5-degree field of view. [2] MAHLI has both white and ultraviolet LED illumination for imaging in darkness or fluorescence imaging.
