Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera images of
Candidate 2009 Mars Science Laboratory Landing Sites/Regions



Data Acquired August 2006 (S21)

Note: As of 8 September 2006, the MOC team had not yet received specific instructions for all of the 33 candidate MSL landing sites.
Thus, only data covering sites 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 32, and 33, are available at this time.


These are Non-Validated (pre-Archival) Data


Images and ancillary data presented on this page have not yet been validated or archived, and should be considered previews. Within 6 to 12 months of acquisition, all data are validated and archived in final form with the NASA Planetary Data System (PDS) and posted in the MOC Gallery. Typically, the labor-intensive data validation process may result in improvements and corrections to the image headers and the table (.tab) of ancillary information. For MOC images that have data drops in them, the validation process may also result in improved recovery of the dropped data. Until the images are validated and archived, the data posted on this page are the best available.

Each column header in the table below has a brief explanation (click on the header) of the item listed in that column. De-striped images have not been re-oriented with north up and east to the right.
