Mastcam camera consists of two megapixel color cameras, one of which is a narrow-angle camera on a high resolution, and the second - Wide. Each of them is capable of capturing high-resolution video, and together they let you receive the stereo.

It Mastcam at the time provided the first 360-degree color panorama of the terrain around the rover.

As described in NASA, the camera is not designed as a tool to search for water, but the survey found that its images in the near-infrared range, scientists can change the relative brightness to detect minerals containing water.

"So, we can use it as a prospecting tool ... to do a 360-degree panorama photo (and search for water)," - said Melissa Rice, who has participated in the design of the camera.
