Curiosity Mars probe: Sent pictures allow panoramic shots
Initially it was still small preview images that have inspired NASA, now reaching more and more higher-resolution images of the Mars probe Curiosity Earth. Already known motifs to develop even once a brand new attraction, such as the inclusion of the falling heat shield during the landing approach. Because in the meantime the more than 2 meters high mast could be moved out, there are now even more beautiful pictures around the so-called Navcams.
From the first images of these cameras at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a panorama of the surroundings and a self-portrait of the rover was assembled. Both are still largely made up of small thumbnail images and are therefore out of focus. However, since arriving in the meantime, more and more higher-resolution versions of photos, clearly detailed collages and panoramas can also create your own, such as shows, among other things, the picture above.
From orbit, there are other shots that show the area of Curiosity before and after the landing of the rover. Especially striking here are the traces left by the weights according to their case. Moreover, there is a color photograph of the feed around Curiosity on which is again the red color of the background very clearly.
For Curiositys next day on Mars (Sol 3) not only the upload is scheduled for a work on the surface of optimized software, but also the inclusion of color panoramic images. In addition, other instruments will be tested for their ability to function. Has been announced for the future, NASA also augmented-reality applications for smartphones, a corresponding ARTag was attached to the probe.
