\nIn this simulation, the \u2018footprints\u2019 of Schiaparelli\u2019s 15 descent camera images follow a roughly clockwise order, as seen in this view from larger to smaller fields-of-view. In this simulated view, the first image is taken at about 3 km altitude and covers roughly 17 square km, while the final image is taken at about 1.5 km and covers 4.6 square km.
