The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 360-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 234 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on July 18, 2025, Sol 4602 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2490, site number 117. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 3 PM to 4 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view. The post Sol 4602: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection appeared first on NASA Science.
