Sol 3042: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical 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 360-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 99 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on February 26, 2021, Sol 3042 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2596, site number 86. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 5 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
