Built under the direction of the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) is a cutting-edge camera system onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Weighing in at 65 kg (143 lb), the $40 million USD instrument was designed to capture breathtaking images of Mars with resolutions of 0.3 m/pixel - that's about 1 foot! With its massive 0.5 m (19.7 in) aperture reflecting telescope, HiRISE can spot objects below a meter across. Data Sources: DTM from the HiRISE Project / NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
