The first was published only a few hours after Nasa had published it. Panoramas.dk has published interactive panoramas from Mars since the landing of ther Rover. The view is from th summit of "Husband Hill." The Husband Hill is a plateau about 100 meters (300 feet) above the Gusev crater. In october 2005 this panorama was made from Oct. 7, 2005) of its exploration of Gusev Crater on Mars.Įverest - MarsThe Mars Rover Mission continues, after almost 2 years since Spirit landed on Mars Spirit continues to send amazing images to the earth. Spirit took this 360-degree panorama of images with its navigation camera on the 627th Martian day, or sol, (Oct. Beyond the hills are the flat plains and rim of Gusev Crater. To the west are the slopes of the "Columbia Hills," so named for the astronauts of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Straight ahead, just east of the rover, is the summit of "Husband Hill. Spirit took this mosaic of images with its navigation camera on sol 581 (Aug. You can see 2 more dustlevels in the panorama.
Its flux is about 1 kilogram per second, meaning it is picking up about 2 pounds of sediment each second and moving it around. It is about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) away, about 90 meters (295 feet) in diameter, and 275 meters (902 feet) tall. The largest dust devil in this 360-degree panorama, is one of the closest seen by Spirit. Planetary Scientist Ron Greeley of Arizona State University, Tempe, describes the whirling vortices of wind and dust as "vacuum cleaners" that were first seen in images from the Viking Orbiter in 1985, though their existence was predicted as early as 1964. From Spirit's high perch approximately 90 meters (295 feet) above the surrounding plains, as shown in this image taken from the summit of "Husband Hill," three dust devils are clearly visible in the plains of Gusev Crater. The martian wind sends hundreds of dust devils spinning across the surface of the planet. During the 8 martian days, or sols, that it took to acquire this image, the lighting varied considerably, partly because of imaging at different times of sol, and partly because of small sol-to-sol variations in the dustiness of the atmosphere.Ī Great Place to Watch the Weather - Dust devils The approximate true color of the mosaic was generated using the camera's 750-, 530-, and 480-nanometer filters. The panorama consists of 108 individual images, each acquired with five filters of the rover's panoramic camera. The rocky outcrops downhill and on the left side of this mosaic include "Larry's Lookout" and "Cumberland Ridge," which Spirit explored in April, May, and June of 2005. This is the Spirit "Independence" panorama, acquired on martian days, or sols, 536 to 543 (July 6 to 13, 2005), from a position in the "Columbia Hills" near the summit of "Husband Hill." The summit of "Husband Hill" is the peak near the right side of this panorama and is about 100 meters (328 feet) away from the rover and about 30 meters (98 feet) higher in elevation. The bright rocky outcrop near the center of the panorama is part of the "Cumberland Ridge," and beyond that and to the left is the "Tennessee Valley." The view is from a position known informally as "Larry's Lookout" along the drive up "Husband Hill." The summit of Husband Hill is the far peak near the center of this panorama and is about 200 meters (656 feet) away from the rover and about 45 meters (148 feet) higher in elevation. This is the Spirit panoramic camera's "Lookout" panorama, acquired on the rover's 410th to 413th martian days, or sols (Feb.

Mars Opportunity Full Resolution Panorama
It is a Cubic (spherical) panorama and you can look down from above. This is a BW image but it gives you a fantastic view of how it looks.
As the first I have created a fullscreen QTVR from the image released by NASA The first 360 degree high resolution panoramic image from Mars MER was posted at NASA a couple of hours ago. First Fullscreen QTVR from Mars is now online
