Mastcam-Z multispectral database from the Perseverance rover’s traverse through the Jezero fan front, Mars (sols 0-707)

During its first 700 sols of exploration, NASA’s Mars-2020 Perseverance rover explored the igneous units of the Jezero crater floor and the sedimentary strata of the western Jezero fan front. The rover’s Mastcam-Z instrument, a pair of multispectral, stereoscopic zoom-lens cameras, provides broadband red/green/blue (RGB), narrowband visible to near-infrared color (VNIR, 440-1020 nm wavelength range). Here, we provide a database of Mastcam-Z spectra and multispectral image products from sols 0-707. These include: the locations of the regions of interest (ROIs) from which the spectra were extracted; “natural color” red, green, blue (RGB) images for context; “enhanced color images” derived by stretching narrowband images; and “decorrelation stretch” (DCS) images that highlight the spectral diversity in left- and right-eye images. This dataset has been calibrated using Version 2 of Mastcam-Z’s radiometric calibration pipeline, which improves upon the calibration of the first dataset for sols 0-380 archived as Rice et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.25710/bhyk-kc32).
