Mars MRO CTX survey collection
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The Context Camera (CTX) is a camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) acquiring grayscale images at 6 meters per pixel scale over a swath 30 kilometers wide.
Description
CTX provides context images for the MRO HiRISE and CRISM observations, is used to monitor changes occurring on the planet, and acquires stereo pairs of selected, critical science targets.Original acknowledgement for data: All data used in the construction of the CTX global mosaic have been publicly released and are freely available via the NASA Planetary Data System.
The CTX camera was built by Malin Space Science Systems, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was built by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/NASA. The Murray Lab/Caltech grants free use of the V01 version of the mosaic for all purposes. Data credit should be to: NASA/JPL/MSSS/The Murray Lab.
