MARS GLOBAL SURVEYOR - 1996. In November 1996, NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory began America's return to Mars after a 20-year absence by launching the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft. The Mars Global Surveyor went into orbit around Mars in September of 1997. Most of the data volume from MGS is generated by a dual-mode camera called the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC). In narrow-angle mode, MOC's black and white, high-resolution telephoto lens can image Martian rocks and other objects as small as 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) across. The largest raw image possible is 2048 x 4800 pixels in size. In contrast to the detailed surface images, MOC's wide- angle, global monitoring mode uses a fish-eye lens to generate panoramic images in color spanning horizon to horizon (NASA).
