The images were acquired by the HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Camera) on 19 October 2023 during Mars Express Orbits 25000. The ground resolution is approximately 450 meters per pixel and the image is centered at about 248° East and 2° North. The color image was created using data from the nadir channel, the field of view which is aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, and the color channels of the HRSC. The context maps are based on HRSC data and data of the of the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) experiment onboard the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission of NASA. The oblique perspective view was generated from a MOLA digital terrain model with an exaggeration factor of roughly 3 and the color channels of HRSC. The anaglyph image, which creates a three-dimensional impression of the landscape when viewed with red/blue or red/green glasses, was derived from the MOLA digital terrain model information and from the nadir channel.

HRSC is a camera experiment that was developed and is operated by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR). The systematic processing of the camera data took place at the DLR Institute for Planetary Research in Berlin-Adlershof. The working group of Planetary Science and Remote Sensing at Freie Universität Berlin used the data to create the image products shown here.
