HiRISE

HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) is a powerful camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It captures high-resolution images of the Martian surface, allowing scientists to observe features as small as a kitchen table, aiding in the selection of landing sites and the study of Mars' geology.
