This animated “flyover” of the workspace of NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander’s was created from images taken by the Surface Stereo Imager on Sol 14 (June 8, 2008), or the 14th Martian day after landing.

The visualization uses both of the camera’s “eyes” to provide depth perception and ranging. The camera is looking north over the workspace.

The Phoenix Mission is led by the University of Arizona, Tucson, on behalf of NASA. Project management of the mission is by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Spacecraft development is by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver.
