NASA Mars Spacecraft Snaps Photos Chosen by Public
WASHINGTON, March 31 WASHINGTON, March 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The most powerful camera aboard a NASA spacecraft orbiting Mars has returned the first pictures of locations on the Red Planet suggested by the public. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, or HiRISE camera, aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, or MRO, is nicknamed, “the people’s camera.” Through a program called HiWish that began in January, scientists have received approximately 1,000 suggestions. The first eight images of areas the public selected are available online at: http://uahirise.org/releases/hiwish-captions.php “NASA’s Mars program is a prime example of what we call participatory exploration,” NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said. “To allow the public to aim a camera at a specific site on a distant world is an invaluable teaching tool that can help educate and inspire our youth to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math.” Since 2006, HiRISE has obtained approximately 13,000 observations covering dozens of square miles, including areas from a student-suggestion program called NASA Quest. However, only about 1 percent of the Martian surface has been photographed. The public is encouraged to recommend sites for the other 99 percent. To make a suggestion, visit: http://uahirise.org/hiwish NASA has provided other opportunities for the public to see and explore Mars.
