| Description |
In this clip, the Pathfinder's wing camera shows the view from 50,000 feet. Below is the reddish-brown desert, with the curvature of the Earth visible. Above this is a haze, which blends into the blue-black sky. The vehicle is more than 10,000 feet above an airliner's normal altitude. |
