Finally - I found an image of the Phoenix SSI with, I presume, two spare MER CCD's inside
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2008/pdf/2156.pdf It's sprouted a big lump on top of the white cylinder MPF and MPL design, due, I presume, to the use of two CCDs instead of one. Doug |

With all the attention on the filters, let's not forget about the boom that deployed the ISS:
http://www.aec-able.com/Booms/coilboom.html Looks like they can add a new entry to their "successes" table! I've always been fascinated by these "tensile" structures. Although it doesn't use quite the same principle as the coilABLE boom, the Hirshhorn museum in DC has a really great example of such a tensile structure; you can stand right below it and wonder how it stays up with just wires and rods (and the rods don't touch each other) and also how it was raised to begin with.
