"Dr John Murray, of the Open
University, UK, who is on the camera
team, told BBC News Online: "This is
the first 3D camera sent to Mars.

"It is 10 times better than anything
sent before. We have high hopes for it and how it will
advance our
understanding of Mars."


Umm... first 3-D camera to Mars? Didn't Pathfinder have stero cameras?
