PDS Information
Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.
Instrument Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:context:instrument:idc.insight::1.1
NAME INSIGHT DEPLOYMENT CAMERA
TYPE IMAGER
DESCRIPTION The InSight Deployment Camera (IDC) instrument has a narrow angle lens and is mounted near the elbow of the robotic arm. It can be articulated by moving the arm and elbow. Stereo imagery is achieved by taking a pair of images with known separation and sufficient overlap. The IDC?s optics are based on Mars Science Laboratory?s Navcam instrument. Images from the IDC are structured the same as images from the InSight Context Camera (ICC), and are treated similarly by both the flight software (FSW) and the ground system (GDS).
