The #Mars rover #Perseverance explores rocks that no human has ever seen before. The resolution of the images is between about 150 microns per pixel (0.0059 inch) to 7.4 millimeters (0.3 inches) per pixel depending on the distance, NASA explains. The color quality is similar to that of a consumer digital camera at around 2-megapixels.Īs for the image size, it can go up to a maximum of 1,600 by 1,200 pixels. The data return of the system is approximately 148 megabits per sol on average. It does this with a zoom lens to magnify distant targets.

Its main job is to take high-definition video, panoramic color, and 3D images of the Martian surface and features in the Red Planet's atmosphere. To provide stereo vision, the cameras are separated by 9.5 inches. The Mastcam-Z is mounted on the rover mast at the eye level of a 6.5-foot-tall person, NASA added. It can also focus and take 3D pictures and videos at a high speed to allow detailed examination of objects from any distance. The camera is equipped with a zoom function that allows for zoomed-in shots. The Mastcam-Z is the name of the mast-mounted camera system found on the Perseverance rover, NASA said.

The recently released 360-degree panorama photo and 360-degree video of the Red Planet were captured by the Perseverance Rover's Mastcam-Z stereo imaging system. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recently released photos and videos of Mars, and it is breathtaking.
