High Resolution Stereo Camera Image Composite (HRSC)

  3-D view of Mars and the sky with space curves around the viewer in all directions

Each image on this mosaic is of the same location observed by Dawn's Framing Camera when it flew by Mars to complete the spacecraft's gravity assist maneuver on February 17, 2009.
1) The top image is from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter flying on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft.  MOLA measures the height of features from Mars' surface. The image is a shaded relief of a 2° x 2° grid.
