The Context Camera (CTX) is a camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) acquiring grayscale images at 6 meters per pixel scale over a swath 30 kilometers wide. CTX provides context images for the MRO HiRISE and CRISM observations, is used to monitor changes occurring on the planet, and acquires stereo pairs of selected, critical science targets.
