Sol 0136: Crater Floor Fractured Rough Campsite Mastcam-Z Mosaic
This text is based on the NASA/JPL media release for this mosaic, online at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA24746
This mosaic shows the area on Mars from which NASA’s Perseverance rover will collect its first rock sample. Scientists are particularly interested in the flat stones that appear light-colored (informally called “paver rocks”). The Perseverance team has nicknamed this area in Mars’ Jezero Crater the “Crater Floor Fractured Rough” area.
The 28 individual images that were combined to make this mosaic were taken by the rover’s Mastcam-Z right-eye camera on July 8, 2021 (the 136th sol, or Martian day, of the mission). The natural color mosaic here simulates the approximate view that we would see with our own eyes if we were there.
The anaglyphs below combine 56 individual images from the rover’s Mastcam-Z left-eye and right-eye cameras on the same day. The natural color anaglyph (for red-blue glasses), simulates the approximate 3D and color view that we would see with our own eyes if we were there.
