The mission's success was reported around the world, but for Al Amiri, the best was yet to come. "The proudest moment, I'd say, was seeing the first unprocessed image from Mars," she says. "That unprocessed image was beyond expectation, even with the challenges that we had with the camera on board. It was amazing. I can describe that image on and on. I think I ran to somebody said, 'Look how beautiful it is.' And it looked a bit greenish. They're like, 'What is this?' I'm like, 'No, you don't get it. You don't get images unprocessed like this."
