The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter collects targeted hyperspectral images of the surface with spatial resolution between 12 and 18 m per pixel. Absorption features due to atmospheric carbon dioxide are removed using the Volcano scan...
The most powerful camera ever sent into space has relayed its first batch of detailed test images of the Red Planet. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter sent four photos back to Earth early on Friday morning. ...
NASA’s InSight Mars lander acquires the same reddish-brown hue as the rest of the planet in a set of images from 2018 to 2024 that were captured by the agency’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter using its High-Resolution Imagine Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Unive...

Some HiRISE images show strange-looking formations. Sometimes it helps to look at Context Camera images to understand the circumstances of a scene. This image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is a close-up of a trough, along with channels draining
The map was created by stitching together more than 110,000 images. These images were captured by theContext Camera (CTX)onboard theMars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The MRO first arrived at Mars in 2006 and still operates today. While images from Mars have been available for years, they’...
As found by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, during the Martian winter, carbon dioxide from the polar areas refreezes and falls from the atmosphere as carbon dioxide snow. And carbon dioxide snow isn't the only kind of strange weather on Mars. Those who've seen "The Martian" are probabl...
