Sol 3571: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 26 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 137 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on August 23, 2022, Sol 3571 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 434, site number 97. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 3 PM to 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
