HiRISE Landing Site Images:

Obtain initial HiRISE images of MSL landing sites to aid in science and hazard detection. Standard HiRISE image: 6 km width, 10 km downtrack. The image can fall anywhere within the ROI. Enabling color images for Mars using infrared, red, and green colors combined.

  1. Initial HiRISE Imaging of MSL Landing SitesAlfred McEwen, PIUniversity of ArizonaJohn Grant, HiRISE Science Team

  2. HiRISE Landing Site Images: (Stereo Images Not Required for Initial Targeting) Standard HiRISE Image: 6 km width, 10 km down track (30 cm/pixel) -Want to minimize number of “custom” images. If MSL Site ROI is much larger than a HiRISE swath (6km x 10 km) the HiRISE image can fall anywhere within the ROI and will be counted as the initial image of the site.

  3. Examples: HiRISE’s First Images of Mars

  4. HiRISE Enables Color Images • Infrared, red, and green colors combined • Not natural color as seen by people

  5. Doing Science and Detecting Hazards with HiRISE
