Large Multispectral and Albedo Panoramas Acquired by the Pancam Instruments on the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and OpportunityIntroduction. The panoramic camera (Pancam) multispectral, stereoscopic imaging systems on the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity [1] have acquired and downlinked more than 45,000 images (~35 Gbits of data) over more than 700 combined sols of operation on Mars as of early January 2005. A large subset of these images were acquired as part of 26 large multispectral and/or broadband "albedo" panoramas (15 on Spirit, 11 on Opportunity) covering large ranges of azimuth (12 spanning 360 ) and designed to characterize major regional color and albedo characteristics of the landing sites and various points along both rover traverses.
