Summary

Description

NOTE: The orientation of this image is intentional. Do not rotate.

English: PIA16056: A Whole New World for Curiosity — This color-enhanced view -- taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter as the satellite flew overhead -- shows the terrain around the rover's landing site within Gale Crater on Mars. Colors were enhanced to bring out subtle differences, showing that the landing region is not as colorful as regions to the south, closer to Mount Sharp, where Curiosity will eventually explore. In reality, the blue colors are more gray.

The rover itself is seen as the circular object, with the blast pattern from its descent stage seen as relatively blue colors.

The dark dune fields lying between the rover and Mount Sharp can be seen in the lower portion of the picture. Mount Sharp is out of view, below the image frame. The rover is about 980 feet (300 meters) from the bottom of the picture.

This image was acquired six days after Curiosity landed at an angle of 30 degrees from straight down, looking west. Another image looking more directly down will be acquired in five days, completing a stereo pair along with this image.

The scale of this image cutout is about 24 inches (62 centimeter) per pixel.

HiRISE is one of six instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates the orbiter's HiRISE camera, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft.
Polski: Zdjęcie zostało wykonane przez wysokiej rozdzielczości kamerę naukowego eksperymentu HiRISE, umieszczonej na sondzie Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, pokazuje teren wokół miejsca lądowania łazika Curiosity w kraterze Gale na Marsie. Kolory zostały wzmocnione, aby wydobyć subtelne różnice, które wskazują, że rejon lądowania nie jest tak kolorowy, jak regiony na południu, bliżej Mount Sharp, które ewentualnie będzie badać Curiosity. W rzeczywistości, niebieskie kolory są bardziej szare.

Sam łazik zobrazowany jest jako okrągły przedmiot, z wyrażnym wzorem podmuchu, który wystąpił w fazie zniżania. Odwzorowany jest w relatywnie niebieskich kolorach. Ciemne pola wydmowe leżące między łazikiem i wzniesieniem Sharp widać w dolnej części obrazu. Góra Sharp nie znajduje się w polu widzenia, ponieważ znajduje się poniżej rozmiarów obrazu.

Łazik jest około 300 m od dolnej części obrazu. Zdjęcie to zostało wykonane w sześć dni po lądowaniu Curiosity pod kątem 30 stopni z zachodu. Inny obraz, skierowany bardziej bezpośrednio w dół, został wykonany w ciągu pięciu następnych dni, wypełniając wraz z tym obrazem stereoparę.

Rozdzielczość tego zdjęcia wynosi około 62 cm na piksel.

HiRISE jest jednym z sześciu instrumentów na sondzie NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Uniwersytet w Arizonie, Tucson, obsługuje kamerę HiRISE, która została zbudowana przez Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp, Boulder, Colo NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, w oddziale California Institute of Technology w Pasadenie, zarządzany przez Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter dla NASA Science Mission, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, zbudował omawiany statek kosmiczny.
