Tips For Media Use of MGS MOC "Mars Picture of the Day"

Please read the MSSS Image Use Policy to determine whether your planned use of an image meets the critera for News Media, Educational, Commerical, or other.
Please credit MOC images to "NASA/JPL/Malin Space Science Systems" or "NASA/JPL/MSSS".
Captions accompanying MOC image releases, including "Picture of the Day," are written by Mars scientists employed by Malin Space Science Systems. Captions should not be plagiarized. Please credit captions to "NASA/JPL/Malin Space Science Systems" or "NASA/JPL/MSSS".
"Picture of the Day" was begun in April 2003. Over time, we have learned more about the needs and interests of the public served by these images. Starting with the "Picture of the Day" for August 13, 2003, all subsequent "Picture of the Day" images are presented on the msss.com web site at their full resolution (for large images, this translates to longer download times). For non map-projected images, the resolution you see is exactly as it was received from Mars. For map-projected images (including color, global views) and other "colorized" images, the picture presented on the MSSS web site, again, is the highest resolution available (typically, these are resampled at a resolution higher than was received from Mars). Media requiring "higher resolution" should recognize that the picture provided here is the highest resolution that exists.
Media requiring 300 dpi (or other) for reproduction of images in print need to resample the full-resolution image to the required size.
