Has anyone any idea what kind of imaging system is being proposed for the MSL? Would it be the same or simiilar to the MER's, or as improved as the MER pancams are to those that were used on Pathfinder?
With a nuclear power source for the rover, and hopefully the mars telecoms orbiter in place the data rate and data volume could be phenomenal |

I wonder about maybe some kind of electrostatic "wiper" - maybe something to move across the lens while holding a charge. Might the dust adhere to something like that, or perhaps be repelled by it? Either way, it could get rid of dust. Possibly maybe. I'm afraid I've not got much experience with electrostatics.
