'''Google Mars''' was at first an in-browser version of [[Google Maps]] which provides a visible [[satellite imagery|imagery]] view, like [[Google Moon]], as well as [[infrared]] imagery and shaded relief ([[elevation]]) of the planet [[Mars]]. Users can toggle between the [[elevation]], visible, and [[infrared]] data, in the same manner as switching between map, satellite, and hybrid modes of Google Maps. In collaboration with [[NASA]] scientists at the [[Mars Space Flight Facility]] located at [[Arizona State University]], Google Mars provided the public with data collected from two NASA Mars missions, [[Mars Global Surveyor]] and [[2001 Mars Odyssey]].

{{R to section}}
[[Google Earth]] version 5, released February 2, 2009, included a separate globe of the planet Mars that could be viewed. The images there are of a much higher resolution than those on the browser version, and include 3D renderings of the Martian terrain. There are also some extremely high resolution images from the [[Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter]]'s [[HiRISE]] camera that are of a similar resolution to those of the cities on Earth. Finally, there are many high resolution panoramic images from various Mars landers such as the [[Mars Exploration Rovers]], [[Spirit Rover|Spirit]], [[Opportunity Rover|Opportunity]] and [[Curiosity Rover|Curiosity]] that can be viewed in a similar way to [[Google Street View]].
