Understanding the Webcams

  • If the images are black, then please check the time on 'Mars' (Mountain Time in Utah). At night exterior cameras will be black, or it's possible the lights may be off in a particular room.
  • If an image does not appear to be updating, please check back in a few hours or tomorrow. We keep an eye each day on the images, and will try to keep them online as much as possible.
  • If nothing appears to be happening, check the mission schedule – crew members may be out on an EVA, currently sleeping, etc.
  • No labels
