Images
from Mars
Point your browser here for the latest Perseverance rover Mastcam-Z images of Mars. Presented here are versions of individual images that have been calibrated and processed at ASU into natural color (approximating what we would see if we were there) and enhanced color renderings, as well as a link to the original raw images web site hosted by JPL/NASA.
Mastcam-Z will be the scientific eyes of the Perseverance rover!
Mastcam-Z is a multi-color, stereo imaging system on NASA’s Perseverance rover. Mastcam-Z uses a pair of focusable, zoomable cameras on the rover’s mast to image in “human-like” red/green/blue colors and in ultraviolet and infrared colors just beyond the range of human color perception. At maximum zoom, the cameras see features as small as the tip of a pencil close by, and the size of an almond from a football field away.
Mastcam-Z team
The Mastcam-Z team includes around 100 scientists, engineers, technicians, managers, administrators, and students, many of whom have been working on the design, building, testing, and operations planning for the cameras since we were selected by NASA in 2014. Some members of the team have decades of experience in NASA deep space robotic missions and others are brand new, but all of us are super excited about taking pictures on Mars with Mastcam-Z!
