English: PIA17944: Curiosity's Color View of Martian Dune After Crossing It
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA17944 This look back at a dune that NASA's Curiosity Mars rover drove across was taken by the rover's Mast Camera (Mastcam) during the 538th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Feb. 9, 2014). The rover had driven over the dune three days earlier. For scale, the distance between the parallel wheel tracks is about 9 feet (2.7 meters). The dune is about 3 feet (1 meter) tall in the middle of its span across an opening called "Dingo Gap." This view is looking eastward. The image has been white balanced to show what the Martian surface materials would look like if under the light of Earth's sky. A version with raw color, as recorded by the camera under Martian lighting conditions, is available as Figure 1. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the project's Curiosity rover. Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, built and operates the rover's Mastcam.

To spojrzenie do tyłu na marsjańskie wydmy, zostało wykonane przez jedną z pośród dwóch kamer masztowych łazika Curiosity, podczas 538 marsjańskiej doby, czyli 09 lutego 2014. Łazik pokonał wydmy trzy dni wcześniej. Dla porównania, ślady kół łazika wyrażają ich rozpiętość, która wynosi 2,7 metra. Wysokość wydmy wynosi 1 metr, a w jej środku znajduje się luka o nazwie "Luka Dingo". Widok ten, jest skierowany w kierunku wschodnim. Zdjęcie było poddane regulacji równowagi bieli, aby pokazać powierzchnię Marsa tak, jakby wyglądała w warunkach oświetleniowych na Ziemi. Wersja w surowym formacie, zarejestrowanym przez kamerę w marsjańskich warunkach oświetleniowych, jest dostępna na zdjęciu (figure 1). Należące do NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, będące oddziałem California Institute of Technology w Pasadenie, kieruje projektem Mars Science Laboratory dla należącego do NASA Science Mission Directorate w Waszygtonie. JPL zaprojektowało i zbudowało łazik Curiosity. Malin Space Science Systems z San Diego, zbudowało i steruje kamerami masztowymi łazika (ang. Mastcams). Zdjęcie przypisane do: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS |
