HiRISE Instrument News:
Since July 23, 2023, HiRISE observations have lacked data from the RED4 CCD due to a hardware issue, creating a gap in the middle of image products and reducing the color swath to 1 CCD width. We are investigating the hardware issue and may be able to acquire some RED4 data in the future.
The electronics unit for CCD RED4 started to fail in August 2023, and we have not been acquiring images in this central swath of the images. The processing pipelines will be updated to fill this gap with the IR10 image for some products. The 3-color coverage is now reduced in width.
