About Mars Color Camera – MCC

Mangalyaan carries a camera payload that acquires color images of planet Mars. The payload weighs about 1.4 Kilograms. MCC covers a spectral range of 400 to 700 nanometers – the visible spectrum. The camera includes a multi-element lens assembly and a 2,000 by 2,000-pixel array detector with RGB Bayer Filter.

At perigee, MCC provides images with a 50 by 50-Kilometer frame size and a resolution of 25 meters per pixel. At apogee, the camera provides a wide field of view of 8,000 by 8,000 Kilometers. Imagery provided by MCC are used to study Martian surface topography.
