Malin Space Science Systems designs, builds, and operates space camera systems for government and commercial aerospace customers. Pictured are the Mastcam 34 mm (left) and Mastcam 100 mm (right). They are the main cameras that will obtain color, multispectral color, stereo, and high definition video views of the terrain explored by Curiosity.
