Sol 0180: Malamaire Citadelle Mastcam-Z Mosaic
This text is based on the NASA/JPL media release for this mosaic, online at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA24833
This mosaic from NASA’s Perseverance rover shows a rock outcrop in the area nicknamed “Citadelle” on the floor of Mars’ Jezero Crater. The mosaic image has been nicknamed “Malamaire” by the rover team and includes a block of rock called “Rochette” (after “La Rochette,” a small town in north-central France whose name also translates to “little rock”). Perseverance successfully collected its first two rock samples from Rochette in early September 2021.
The images in the mosaic were taken by the Mastcam-Z instrument on the 180th sol (Martian day) of the rover’s mission. The enhanced color version exaggerates the subtle red, green, and blue color differences among the materials in this scene. The natural color version simulates the approximate view that we would see with our own eyes if we were there. Additionally, the anaglyphs below combine images from the left and right Mastcam-Z cameras into anaglyphs (for red-blue glasses) that simulate a 3D view of the scene.
