Category:Photos by the Ingenuity Terrain Camera (RTE)

English: This category hosts only the colour images taken by the terrain camera of Ingenuity helicopter (RTE, „Return-to-Earth”) and their derivatives like animations, videos etc. The RTE camera is a rolling shutter, Sony IMX 214 high-resolution 4208×3120 pixel sensor with a Bayer color filter array mated with an O-film optics module. Mounted on the lower edge between the bottom and the front plane of the fuselage, the RTE camera has a 47°×47° FOV and is pointed ~22° below the horizon, thus slightly overlapping the field of view of the NAV camera. Both front legs of Ingenuity are always seen on the side edges of the RTE photos; the „needle eye” which differs the left front leg from three others always seems higher than the standard hoof of the right leg.

On the surface and in the normal flight the Mars skyline falls into the FOV of the RTE terrain camera, while when the fuselage tilts forward, the horizon line may not be visible at all.

If seen, the size of the shadow of Ingenuity is inversely proportional to the distance of camera from the surface. The minimal distance (and the largest shadow) is about 13 centimeters when Ginny stands on her legs.

Most of the source media may be found in the NASA catalogue at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/Ingenuity.

Raw images from the RTE terrain camera are also stored at https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/?af=HELI_RTE#raw-images
