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 |

Does this MARDI have a microphone, Mike?

Nope, no microphone on the MSL MARDI. You should note that while it shares a name with the instrument on PHX, it's a completely different electronic design and doesn't use the cellphone processor that made adding a microphone to the PHX design fairly straightforward.
