Dramatic View of Mars Mount Sharp video part 3

Panorama Published: August 03, 2020. The Mast Camera, or Mastcam, on NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its telephoto lens to capture Mount Sharp in the morning illumination on October 13, 2019, the 2,555th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The panorama is composed of 45 individual images stitched together. Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego built and operates Mastcam. A division of Caltech, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California built the Curiosity rover and manages the Mars Science Laboratory mission for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The panorama has been white-balanced and additionally brightened so that the colors of the rock materials resemble how they would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth.
