Mars: The View from HiRISE
This sharp view of the Martian surface comes from the HiRISE camera, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. HiRISE is aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which arrived in Mars orbit on March 10. The image data has a full resolution of about 2.5 meters per pixel, recorded from a range of 2,500 kilometers. The orbiter's orbit will be circularized in the coming months through a process called aerobraking.
