PANoramic CAMera (PANCAM)
Overview
The bifocal panoramic camera allows to shoot a panoramic field (360°x100°) and, simultaneously, a 20° circular field at higher resolution (HR). The panoramic field is useful for environmental monitoring and engineering applications (e.g. rover autoguiding), while the higher resolution field is useful for geological applications.
