NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover spotted an unusually smooth rock formation on the surface of the Red Planet on February 13, 2022. This image was captured using its Mast Camera (Mastcam) before the scheduled drilling procedure in which the rover drilled more than 20 holes in Mars’ rocks to find carbon, which could be one of the leading signs of organic life on ancient Mars. The MastCam system offers multiple spectra and true-color imaging with two cameras.
The Mast Camera (MastCam) cameras are capable of taking true-color images at 1600×1200 pixels and up to 10 frames per second hardware-compressed video at 720p (1280×720). Each one of the cameras boasts 8GB of flash memory, which is good for storing 5,500 raw images, and can apply real time lossless data compression. They both have autofocus capability that enables them to focus on objects from 2.1 m (6 ft 11 in) to infinity.
