meters/pixel. The outlines of other images are shown as white boxes. (Courtesy Malin Space Science Systems )
Mosaic of Viking Orbiter 1 frames 428A62,
428A63, and 428A65, reproduced at a scale of 80 meters/pixel
or 40 meters/pixel full resolution. The outline of the next image is shown as a white box. (Courtesy Malin Space Science Systems )
This picture
of the Martian surface was obtained in the early
evening of January 1, 1998, by the Mars Orbiter Camera
shortly after the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft began it's
80th orbit. Seen in this view are a plateau and surrounding
steep slopes within the Valles Marineris. (Courtesy Malin Space Science Systems )
Viking Orbiter 1 frame 897A32, reproduced at a scale of 150
meters/pixel. The outline of the next image is shown as a
white box. (Courtesy Malin Space Science Systems )
This picture of a canyon on the Martian surface was obtained a
few minutes after 10 PM PST, January 8, 1998, by the Mars
Orbiter Camera during the 87th orbit around Mars of the
Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. It shows the canyon of Nanedi
Vallis, one of the Martian valley systems cutting through
cratered plains in the Xanthe Terra region of Mars. (Courtesy Malin Space Science Systems )
