Summary edit

DescriptionNasa curiosity first images mars.jpg	English: This is one of the first images taken by NASA's Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars the evening of Aug. 5 PDT (morning of Aug. 6 EDT). It was taken through a "fisheye" wide-angle lens on one of the rover's front Hazard-Avoidance cameras at one-quarter of full resolution. The camera is the left eye of a stereo pair positioned at the middle of the rover's front side. The clear dust cover on the camera is still on in this view, and dust can be seen around its edge, along with three cover fasteners. The rover's shadow is visible in the foreground. As planned, the rover's early engineering images are lower resolution. Larger color images are expected later in the week when the rover's mast, carrying high-resolution cameras, is deployed. Deutsch: Diese Übersetzung bitte prüfen und verbessern!: Eines der ersten Bilder aufgenommen vom Mars-Rover Curiosity, der am Abend des 5. August PDT-Zeit auf dem Mars landete. Es wurde mit einem viertel der vollen Auflösung durch eine "fisheye" Weitwinkellinse an einer der vorderen "Hazard-Avoidance"-Kameras aufgenommen. Die Kamera ist das linke Auge eines Stereo-Paars in der Mitte der Vorderseite des Rovers. Der klare Staub Be?Abdeckung ist in dieser Ansicht noch aktiv und Sataub kann um seine Ecken herum beobachtet werden, neben 3 Abdeckungsbefestigungen. Der Schatten des Fahrzeugs selbst ist im Vordergrund sichtbar. Wie geplant sind die ersten technischen Bilder von geringer Auflösung. Grössere Farbbilder werden später in der Woche erwartet wenn der Rover-Mast mit hochauflösenden Kameras ausgefahren ist.
