Sol 2749: Right Navigation Camera, Polar Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 24 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a polar stereographic projection panorama of the Martian surface with 0 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north) at the top of the image. Curiosity took the images on May 01, 2020, Sols 2749-2747 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2008, site number 79. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 3 PM to 12 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
