Photos: Hi-res cam spots space junk on Mars
The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has spotted the remains of space probes and landing gear on the surface of Mars. The camera was able to zoom in on Viking I and Viking II which landed in 1976, in addition to the two currently operating rovers, Spirit and Opportunity.
At left is the parachute and backshell that guided the Mars rover Opportunity to a safe landing.
