Welcome to the Planetary Image Atlas / Mars Pathfinder Navigator
The Planetary Image Atlas / MPF Navigator provides access to raw EDR
products for the MPF instruments IMP (Imager for Mars Pathfinder), RVRCAM
(Rover Cameras), and MET (Meteorology package). Access to the APXS (Alpha
Proton X-ray Spectrometer) data will be added as soon as possible.
If you are not interested in the raw data, but would like to see instead the
processed images most commonly of interest to the public, please see the
numerous images available in NASA's Planetary Photojournal
(http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/).
Using the Atlas, you may select images based on their location, the camera
and filter used, and many other search parameters. You can display the
images, download them immediately in various formats, or place bulk orders
for images to be delivered electronically.
WARNING
Mars Pathfinder scientists are in the process of calibrating and validating
this data. In an effort to make the data available as quickly as possible,
we are essentially providing access to a copy of our operational system and
the working data. Thus, there may be numerous inapplicable capabilities that
may not work on this system, and values in the data labels that have yet to
be filled in. In other words, this is a work in progress. Please be patient
and keep these limitations in mind when using the data.

Search the Atlas
There are two primary interfaces to the Planetary Image Atlas. One is a
map-based interface, that permits selection of images by location using a
mosaic of the Pathfinder landing site. The other is a forms-based interface
which allows selection of images by entering detailed search parameters in a
form. Choose the method you prefer.
* Map-based search (for IMP data only)
