Bernese Mars camera CaSSIS returns spectacular images

80

Three years ago, on March 14 2016, the Bernese Mars camera CaSSIS started its journey to Mars with the ‘ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter’ spacecraft. The camera system has been observing Mars from its primary science orbit since April 2018 and provides high-resolution, color images of the surface. On 2 March 2019, CaSSIS also delivered its first image of InSight, NASA’s lander on Mars.
