{{Main|Mars Color Imager}}

The '''Mars Color Imager (MARCI)''' is a wide-angle, relatively low-resolution camera that views the surface of Mars in five [[visible light|visible]] and two [[ultraviolet]] bands. Each day, MARCI collects about 84 images and produces a global map with pixel resolutions of {{convert|1|to|10|km|abbr=on}}. This map provides a weekly weather report for Mars, helps to characterize its seasonal and annual variations, and maps the presence of water vapor and ozone in its atmosphere.<ref name="Spacecraft Parts: Instruments: MARCI"/> The camera was built and is operated by Malin Space Science Systems. It has a 180-degree [[fisheye lens]] with the seven color filters bonded directly on a single CCD sensor.<ref name="msss2"/><ref name="marci">{{cite web |title=NASA – NSSDCA – Experiment – Details |url=https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1998-073A-01 |website=nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov |access-date=2 February 2023 |archive-date=April 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200414205438/https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1998-073A-01 |url-status=live }} {{PD-notice}}</ref> The same MARCI camera was onboard [[Mars Climate Orbiter]] launched in 1998.<ref>{{cite web |title=MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER (MRO) MARS COLOR IMAGER (MARCI) INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION |url=https://www.msss.com/science/mro-marci-instrument-description.php |website=msss.com |publisher=Malin Space Science Systems |access-date=2 February 2023 |archive-date=February 2, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230202131846/https://www.msss.com/science/mro-marci-instrument-description.php |url-status=live }}</ref>
