when spacecraft orbit the planets and take photos or take sensor readings do the cameras or sensors ever move or rotate independantly of the rotation of the spacecraft?
or is the whole spacecraft always rotated/oriented for the best shots because the cameras and sensors are always mounted firmly to spacecraft with no independant rotational capablities? thanks |

Many thanks to the members who very kindly answered this question.
I would like to remind everyone, and especially new members/infrequent posters, to review the Rules and Guidelines (on the top left section of the menu bar), especially rule 2.3, before starting a thread to ask a question. The odds are very good that the answer is already somewhere on the Forum--as Explorer1 showed--or can be found via Google or other search engines. This thread is now closed. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
