  Lander 2 image showing frost, dust on deck, S-Band antenna for direct communications with Earth, and color charts.

  Note the white, CO₂ frost in the shadows of the rocks, especially immediately to the right of the vertical antenna suppport, in this late winter image. (25 September, 1977, L_s= 339)

  Dust from the two great dust storms earlier this year, the 1977A storm, L_s=210, and the more intense 1977B storm, L_s= 275, has partially covered the black grid on the lander deck. (Note, the grey paint on this FC3 lander body has been painted over with white silicon rubber paint on Landers 1 and 2 like this meteorology boom.)
