I heard this mission has an extremely high-resolution camera, but don't MGS and Mars Express as well? I know it also has some kind of radar sounder to search for water beneath the surface, but doesn't Mars Express have something like that too? The only instrument I found that hasn't been flown before is one for measuring climate that I think was lost on the Mars Climate Orbiter.

Actually, we already have good locations for Viking 1 and MPF from MOC, which has photographed them on the surface.
http://barsoom.msss.com/mars_images/moc/2004/01/04/ In addition to Viking 2 and Mars 3, I would like to see Mars 6. Mars 6 returned the first scientific data from the Martian atmosphere during descent in 1975, although it crashed. An engineering instrument eroneously identified argon in the atmosphere, leading many believe erroneously that the Martian atmosphere was largely composed of argon. -------------------- |
