With more than 68,000 images returned from the surface of Mars to date, the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) camera suite continues to perform extremely well. Image signal to noise ratios (SNRs) are greater than 200:1, flat fields remain stable, and single-pixel degradation has been negligible. Acting as the eyes of the robotic field geologists, the 18 MER cameras continue to play a leading role in major scientific findings at both Gusez Crater and Meridiana Planum.
