This image is of a little green alien meant to represent the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission capability.  The character is wearing a green and red flowered 'Hawaiian' shirt and has two black cameras slung around its neck.  There is one large eye (like a Cyclops) and a smaller one next to that.  The alien has large, floppy ears and antennae atop its head.

Looking like an overly enthusiastic tourist, artist Tina DiCicco's quirky character emphasizes the mission's ability to "see" as no other orbiter before it.
