Latest Mars Images of India’s Mars Orbiter Spacecraft


India's Mars Orbiter Mission Mangalyaan has sent home stunning three-dimensional images of a 5000-km long canyon on the red planet, on the occasion of Independence Day.


The 3-D images captured with the Mars Colour Camera from a height of nearly 2,000 km are of Valles Marineris, which is the largest-known canyon complex in the solar system.

The package includes pictures of the Opir Chasma, a valley 62 km wide and bordered by high cliffs.
