Color shots from Mars-5 (1)

Mars-5 entered an elliptic Martian orbit on February 12, 1974. Nearly synchronized with the rotation of the Planet, its two phototelevision cameras could be commanded to take 12 pictures during each close approach. The "Vega" camera used a wide area 52mm lens with color filters, the "Zulfar" camera used a telescopic 350mm lens and long-pass orange filter.
Images were transmitted in a rapid 220-line mode, and then selected pictures were retransmitted at 880 or 1760 line resolution.
