Mars Descent Imager

The image shows a camera lens shaped rather like the business end of a tuba, with the forward edges flaring outward from a central cylinder.

February 16, 2009

The Mars Descent Imager will provide color video footage of the landing site and the surrounding terrain during the Mars Science Laboratory's descent to the surface of the red planet.
