Development of a Mars Surface Imager
The Mars Surface Imager (MSI) is a multispectral, stereoscopic, panoramic imager that allows imaging of the full scene around a Mars lander from the lander body to the zenith. It has two functional components: panoramic imaging and sky imaging. In the most recent version of the MSI, called PIDDP-cam, a very long multi-line color CCD, an innovative high-performance drive system, and a state-of-the-art wavelet image compression code have been integrated into a single package. The requirements for the flight version of the MSI and the current design are presented.
