Early Colour Composite Imaging Test

The SCS produces colour images by combining images from the 480 nm, 530 nm and 670 nm filters to form the blue, green and red colour components. The image below is a test image of a colour calibration chart taken in day light with no radiometric calibration and so is not representative of the final quality of the images to be returned from Mars. The odd tints on the wall are due to variations in shadow intensity as the amount of sunlight varies between the three exposures due to passing clouds.
