They were taken as part of an eight-day campaign to test the camera\u2019s capabilities and functions for the first time since arriving at the Red Planet on 19 October. CaSSIS worked almost perfectly and provided impressive views of the surface, according to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unibe.ch\/news\/media_news\/media_relations_e\/media_releases\/2016_e\/media_releases_2016\/cassis_sends_first_images_from_mars_orbit\/index_eng.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>. \u00abThe first images we received are absolutely spectacular \u2013 and it was only meant to be a test\u00bb, said Nicolas Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>The primary science phase will start around the end of 2017. CaSSIS will then enter nominal operations acquiring 12 to 20 high-resolution stereo and color images of selected targets per day. In the next months, the Bernese team will work on further improving the onboard software and the ground post-processing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mars camera, whose structure, onboard computer, and rotation mechanism were built by the University of Bern, has returned its first images from orbit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12305,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[]},"categories":[831],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 -
