Mars Express 07-330 00.55.04 VMC Img No 15.png
This was the first time the camera was used at lower altitude (~4000 km). While flying across the planet, VMC imaged the limb – the edge of the planet. Here, seen above the edge of the disc, is the side profile of cloud cover floating around the limb of the planet. This could be studied to determine the height of the clouds above the surface.
