Saw the MSL video, which was similar to the MER video. It was awesome. Will try to get a copy

Is there any possibility of mounting instrumentation (weather instruments, seismometer, etc.) on the "platform" section of the descent stage without making things too complicated?
Seems reasonable to expect that it could make a fairly soft landing and might make a nice local cross reference to data from the MSL as it wanders around. (Imagine the PR release as the MSL comes roving into view.) -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

Also, MSL will probably avoid the descent stage since it will be leaking hydrazine |
