Finally - I found an image of the Phoenix SSI with, I presume, two spare MER CCD's inside

It's sprouted a big lump on top of the white cylinder MPF and MPL design, due, I presume, to the use of two CCDs instead of one.

Oooohh...juicy info that only a true space enthusiast could love...

Decoding SSI filenames
Note that there's an indicator in the filename for whether the image is part of a mosaic or stereo observation (or both). Coool!

Et cetera...

And how the heck did I miss the fact that you were the lead for SSI, Mark?

Is there anything you can tell us about the nominal plan for the pipeline for images? Peter Smith said at today's press briefing that "they will be made available on the Internet as they come down. You'll see them as I see them. We plan to operate the mission in an open manner." Which I had heard was true but it was very nice to hear him say that in the official context of the press briefing.

Can you hear that? That's the sound of me rubbing my hands and licking my lips -- I can't wait to see new data from a new spacecraft!
