Description
The panoramic camera on Mars Exploration Rover Spirit took hundreds of images combined into this 360-degree view of the Husband Hill Summit panorama. The images were acquired on Spirit's sols 583 to 586 (August 24 to 27, 2005), shortly after the rover reached the crest of Husband Hill inside Mars' Gusev Crater. This is the largest panorama yet acquired from either Spirit or Opportunity. The panoramic camera shot 653 separate images in 6 different filters, encompassing the rover's deck and the full 360 degrees of surface rocks and soils visible to the camera from this position. This is the first time the camera has been used to image the entire rover deck and visible surface from the same position. Stitching together of all the images took significant effort because of the large changes in resolution and parallax across the scene.
