MAVEN carries no camera's. HiRISE on MRO would be the best shot and I doubt this is planned.

MAVEN carries no camera's. Hmmm, I guess this story isn't true then. http://www.theonion.com/articles/mars-mave...s-of-hig,36987/ |

Hmmm, I guess this story isn't true then. http://www.theonion.com/articles/mars-mave...s-of-hig,36987/ Yeah, it's not true. Check out... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAVEN#Scientific_instruments Gives a good description of science instruments, and none of them are visible light . MAVEN's mission is purely to determine the Mar's atmospheric and exosphere content and it's interaction with the Solar Wind and Ultra Violet radiation. Certainly no desktop pics here. |
