Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera Image Gallery Contains more than 67,500 Images

MOC is operated daily at Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS). MOC consists of
three cameras: A narrow angle system that provides grayscale high resolution
views of the planet’s surface (1.5 to 12 m/pixel in the Mapping Phase of the
mission), and red and blue wide angle cameras that provide daily global
weather monitoring, context images to determine where the narrow angle views
were actually acquired, and regional coverage to monitor variable surface
features such as polar frost and wind streaks. Most of the high resolution
images are obtained by careful planning and inspection of predicted MGS
orbits by Mars scientists working at and/or visiting MSSS. The company is
also responsible for archiving the data once they are received on Earth.

Malin Space Science Systems and the California Institute of Technology built
the MOC using spare hardware from the Mars Observer mission. MSSS operates
the camera from its facilities in San Diego, CA. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory’s Mars Surveyor Operations Project operates the Mars Global
Surveyor spacecraft with its industrial partner, Lockheed Martin
Astronautics, from facilities in Pasadena, CA and Denver, CO.
