Order a 7”x8” 3D Print: Explore the Surface of Mars in Stunning Detail. Imagine walking on the Martian terrain, feeling the red dust beneath your feet. This 3D model brings that experience to life with its unique "Ring and Cone" feature, rendered in a vibrant false red tinted relief. The model sits proudly on any desk or shelf thanks to its built-in base. High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) is a cutting-edge camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This 65 kg instrument was designed by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp under the direction of the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. Its impressive capabilities include a 0.5 m aperture reflecting telescope, the largest in any deep space mission to date. With resolutions of 0.3 m/pixel (about 1 foot), HiRISE can capture stunning images of Mars with unprecedented clarity. The camera's precision allows it to resolve objects below a meter across, opening up new possibilities for scientific discovery and exploration.
