Dust Storm and Jezero Crater

Jan. 19, 2022
Images acquired January 9, 2022, from the Mars Color Imager instrument on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter were combined to create this view showing a regional dust storm obscuring the location of Perseverance rover and Ingenuity Mars Helicopter.

Multiple images from the Mars Color Imager (MARCI) aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) were used to generate this view of a regional dust storm obscuring Syrtis Major and Jezero Crater (white circle). The images were acquired on Jan. 9, 2022.

MRO creates global maps of Mars but roll maneuvers for targeted observations produce gaps in the coverage, which appear as black gores in the maps. On some days there are data drops where partial or full orbits of coverage are missing. Green and purple observed in the south polar region indicate saturated pixels.

Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego provided and operates MARCI. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the MRO for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver built the spacecraft.
