Some Phoenix SSI info (courtesy the SSI team). This should produce one hell of a panorama. And, looking over Viking views, it will be neat to see a site change with time, although, given its solar power and northern location, Phoenix might not be much longer lived than Pathfinder.
____________________________________________ The MVACS SSI used a 23 micron/pixel CCD with a 23 mm EFL lens to get the resolution of 1 mrad/pixel. The PHX SSI design uses a 12 micron/pixel CCD from the MER with a 50 mm EFL lens giving 0.24 mrad/pixel, and almost the same FOV. The MER rovers use the same CCD with a shorter lens giving about 0.27 mrad/pixel. So the PHX SSI will have slightly higher resolution then the MER rovers from the same CCD's. We kept the entrance windows, filters, and first fold mirrors from the MVACS SSI design, everything after that was different. We almost managed to fit it in to the same space. The PHX SSI will have some bumps on the top cover to package everything in. Sort of like a hood bulge on a hot rod. -------------------- |
