Visible Imaging by THEMIS
- THEMIS will acquire visible-light images with 20 meters per
pixel resolution.
- There are 5 visible wavelength bands available, and the option
exists to choose which of the 5 are used for any given image.
Thus, these 20 m/pixel images can be monochrome (black-and-white)
or color.
- Up to 15,000 visible images will obtained; each will cover
an area 20 km by 20 km on the surface of Mars.
- The visible-wavelength camera portion of THEMIS is being provided by
Malin Space Science Systems of San Diego, California.
