Boulder Field - Sol 13
|
This enhanced color image mosaic of the area south of the lander was made using images acquired in the mid-morning of Sol 13 by the IMP camera as part of the Super-Pan data set.
At each camera frame position, a Super-Pan image contains 15 frames (6 frames for 3-color stereo and 9 more individual narrow color bands). This mammoth color and stereo data set will be used to derive high quality topographic maps of the surface and detailed shapes of rocks and other surface features, and to map subtle chemical, mineralogical, and textural variations on rocks and soils. Red, green, and blue filter images from the right eye were combined to simulate slightly amplified natural color. The rocks Squid, Ender, Hassock, and a portion of Wedge are visible in the center-right portion of the mosaic. Mermaid Dune and Bosco rock are visible in the middle-left. The foreground contains portions of the airbags and the top of the low-gain antenna on the lander.
The rim of the impact crater "Big Crater" is visible in the upper-left on the horizon.
