There will be video on the rover. I don't know if its the same as the decent video. My guess is no. But is the descent imager on the rover or the Skycrane? I'd imagine it's on the rover as it would have an unobstructed view donward. -------------------- ---------------------------------------------- "Too low they build, who build beneath the stars." - Edward Young
