Click on image for larger version HiRISE image ( PSP_0 03231_2095) of proposed landing site for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) in Nilo Syrtis. Observation Toolbox Acquisition date: 4 April 2007 Local Mars time: 3:28 PM Degrees latitude (centered): 29.3° Degrees longitude (East): 73.3° Range to target site: 290.3 km (181.4 miles) Original image scale range: 29.0 cm/pixel (with 1 x 1 binning) so objects ~87 cm across are resolved Map-projected scale: 25 cm/pixel and north is up Map-projection: EQUIRECTANGULAR Emission angle: 8.0° Phase angle: 73.5° Solar incidence angle: 66°, with the Sun about 24° above the horizon Solar longitude: 213.3°, Northern Autumn NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, is the prime contractor for the project and built the spacecraft. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment is operated by the University of Arizona, Tucson, and the instrument was built by Ball Aerospace and Technology Corp., Boulder, Colo.
