[1]美国航天局火星勘测轨道飞行器航天器上的火星彩色成像仪（MARCI）是一种广角、多光谱电荷耦合器件（CCD）“推帧”成像相机，旨在对火星大气和表面进行频繁的天气尺度彩色成像。MARCI使用一个1024 × 1024像素的行间转移CCD探测器，它有七个直接连接到CCD的窄带干涉滤光片。其中五个滤波器在可见光到短波近红外波长范围内（437，546，604，653和718 nm），两个在紫外线范围内（258和320 nm）。在这里，我们描述了MARCI研究的科学目标和MARCI仪器的基本特性、校准和飞行性能。我们包括早期的科学成果和调查的几个例子，使广泛的飞行前和飞行中的校准程序，并在飞行中的仪器的性能验证。
[1] The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) instrument aboard the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft is a wide-angle, multispectral Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) “push frame” imaging camera designed to provide frequent, synoptic-scale color imaging of the Martian atmosphere and surface. MARCI uses a 1024 × 1024 pixel interline transfer CCD detector that has seven narrowband interference filters bonded directly to the CCD. Five of the filters are in the visible to short-wave near-infrared wavelength range (437, 546, 604, 653, and 718 nm) and two are in the ultraviolet range (258 and 320 nm). Here we describe the scientific objectives of the MARCI investigation and the basic characteristics, calibration, and in-flight performance of the MARCI instrument. We include several examples of early scientific results and investigations enabled by an extensive preflight and in-flight calibration program and by validation of the performance of the instrument in flight.
