Midnight Mars Browser (abreviated MMB) is a computer program I wrote to download and look at the raw images from the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.

Basically, MMB downloads the raw images from the rovers that NASA/JPL posts on the Internet, and lets you view them in slideshows or "you-are-there" Panorama views. MMB is an "enthusiast's" tool; I am not connected with NASA or JPL in any way.

If you want to learn more about what the program does, read the Introduction in the ReadMe.

What's New:
Adjustment to "Export Pan Images and PTGui Project File..." Navcam FOV.
Fix for "Export Pan Images and PTGui Project File..." to support Hugin as an alternative to PTGui.

Requirements:
MMB requires a good network connection and *lots* of hard drive space if you're going to download a lot of images.
Currently the entire raw image set is more than 7 gigabytes. Your computer should have at least 512MB of RAM for acceptable performance.
Java 1.4 or later.
