Was this one image taken from the surface the ONLY one taken? I thought
the
probe could do a 360 degree pan.


I think the camera was fixed. The whole probe
was rotating as it hung under the parachute.

On a related matter, I was expecting to see a few photos at low
altitudes (less than a thousand meters). There was supposed to be a
spotlight to facilitate this. Has anyone seen anything of these?
Were they lost? We seem to go from kilometers high directly to the
'pebbles on the mud'. Disappointing.
