Sol 1229: Serpentine Rapids Margin Unit Crater Rim Contact Mastcam-Z Mosaic
This text is based on the NASA/JPL media release for this mosaic, online at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA26373
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z instrument to capture this view looking south toward the rim of Jezero Crater. The panorama, which encompasses 80 degrees, is made up of 59 individual images. They were captured on Aug. 4, 2024, the 1,229th Martian day, or sol, of the mission, and stitched together after being sent back to Earth. The enhanced version of this mosaic brings out subtle details.
“Dox Castle,” a region the Perseverance science team wants to visit during the rover’s climb up the crater rim, is about a half-mile (740 meters) away, on the left side of the hill at right. After the exploration of Dox Castle is complete, the rover will continue its climb up the crater rim, taking a route somewhere in between the two hills.
