• Bringing Mars rover technology to Earth

The Gigapan EPIC series panoramic photography equipment uses the same technology as the Mars rovers "Courage" and "Opportunity" to capture stunning images of the red planet. Now everyone has the opportunity to use the technology developed for Mars to capture stunning images of themselves.

Gigapan was founded in 2008 and is a commercial derivative product of a successful collaboration between NASA and Carnegie Mellon University research team. The company's mission is to bring this powerful high-resolution imaging capability to a wide audience.

The original prototype and related software of Gigaban were designed by a team led by Randy Sargent and Illah Nourbakhsh. Sargent is a senior systems scientist at Carnegie Mellon University West Campus and NASA Ames Research Center in Moffetfield, California, while Nobach is an associate professor of robotics at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
