Animation: Flying over Occator crater
The video was produced by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) using 548 images acquired by the German Framing camera on board the Dawn spacecraft, over 10,000 stereo combinations, and 106 million calculated points on the surface, with which the DLR planetary researchers prepared a three-dimensional elevation model of the dwarf planet. The resolution of 32 metres per pixel and a recording altitude of just 370 kilometres have therefore produced a flyover that allows observers to enjoy an ideal view of Occator’s unusual topography and the light-coloured deposits in its interior.
