| NAME |
Phoenix Lander Surface Stereo Imager
|
| TYPE |
Imager
|
| DESCRIPTION |
The Phoenix Lander Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) was a camera system designed to capture detailed images of the Martian surface. It took high-resolution color photos of the lander's surroundings, including the polar region's ice and soil. The SSI also provided key data for analyzing the terrain, weather patterns, and potential landing sites for future missions. Its images helped scientists understand Mars' geology and climate.
