The Mars Orbiter Camera was in orbit around Mars between 1997 and 2006 (narrow-angle camera inside the cylinder, the two wide-angle cameras attached on the front area). The Mars Orbiter Camera and Mars Observer Camera (MOC) were scientific instruments on board the Mars Observer and Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft.
The Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC), [1] also known as the Video Monitoring Camera [2] and Mars Webcam, is a small camera mounted on Mars Express spacecraft. It is operated by the Mars Express Flight Control Team at ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany. Originally, VMC was a technical camera to monitor the separation of the Beagle 2 lander, but after a ...
The THEMIS instrument, before being mounted onto Mars Odyssey. The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) is a camera on board the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter. It images Mars in the visible and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to determine the thermal properties of the surface and to refine the distribution of minerals on the surface of Mars as determined by the Thermal ...
The HiRISE camera is designed to view surface features of Mars in greater detail than has previously been possible. [17] It has provided a closer look at fresh Martian craters, revealing alluvial fans , viscous flow features and ponded regions of pitted materials containing breccia clast . [ 18 ]
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).
The Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) operated by Malin Space Science Systems – The Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), originally known as Mars Observer Camera, [9] [10] used 3 instruments: a narrow angle camera that took (black-and-white) high resolution images (usually 1.5 to 12 m per pixel) and red and blue wide angle pictures for context (240 m per pixel ...
Mastcam-Z engineering diagram. Mastcam-Z consists of two zoom cameras mounted on the remote sensing mast of the Perseverance rover.The design is an evolution of the Mastcam instrument provided for the previous Mars rover, Curiosity.
High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) is a camera experiment on Mars Express. [1] A version for Earth called HRSC-AX was also developed, as was a version for Mars 96. [1] It has four main parts: camera head, super resolution channel, instrument frame, and digital unit. [1]
