Sol 0548: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 5 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 163-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 163 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on February 20, 2014, Sol 548 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 802, site number 27. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 1 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
