HiRISE Image PSP_001388_2035

Image PSP_001388_2035 was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft on November 12, 2006. The complete image is centered at 23.2 degrees latitude, 342.5 degrees East longitude. The range to the target site was 284.1 km (177.5 miles). At this distance the image scale ranges from 28.4 cm/pixel (with 1 x 1 binning) to 113.7 cm/pixel (with 4 x 4 binning). The image shown here has been map-projected to 25 cm/pixel and north is up. The image was taken at a local Mars time of 3:28 PM and the scene is illuminated from the west with a solar incidence angle of 49 degrees, thus the sun was about 41 degrees above the horizon. At a solar longitude of 134.4 degrees, the season on Mars is Northern Summer.
