Japan is planning
to take pictures of planet Mars and its two moons – Deimos and Phobos- in
ultra-high definition camera in 8k or 8,000 pixels .According to news, this is the first time
in history that planet Mars and its moon will be film or will be shoot in
camera in 8k ultra-high definition.
“The Japan Aerospace Exploration
Agency (JAXA) and Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) have decided to jointly
develop the Super Hi-Vision Camera that is capable of filming 4K and 8K images
in space for JAXA's Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission. This would be the
first time in history that 8K ultra-high-definition images of Mars and its
moons are taken in proximity. By combining the actual flight data of the MMX
spacecraft and the images taken by the Super Hi-Vision Camera, the exploration
of the MMX spacecraft around Mars and its moons (the Martian system), 300
million kilometers from the Earth, will be recreated.” (Phys)
The spacecraft or MMX(Martian Moons Exploration)
spacecraft together with “Super Hi-Vision Camera”, will be launched according to
the news on year 2024.The spacecraft or its mission is not only to shoot or
film planet Mars and its moons in 8k camera but also planning to collect sample
“sand” form the ground or surface, according to the news, on Phobos.
“JAXA is currently developing the MMX
spacecraft to be launched in JFY 2024, with the aim of clarifying the origin of
the Martian moons and the evolutionary process of the Martian system. MMX is an
internationally high-profile sample-return mission that aims to conduct
scientific observations of the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, and of Mars,
as well as land on Phobos to collect "sand" from its surface to
return to Earth.” (Phys)
The main point : Taking pictures of space and particularly
planets has long been a successful undertaking of man on planet earth, and now
taking pictures is taken into 8k level which become the first in history of
taking a ultra-high definition image of planet Mars and its moons.
