Orbiter is sheduled for launch with a Mars arrival in March 2006. It's carrying a (get this!) 20" reflector telescope for 'ludicrous'-resolution images of the Martian surface with a resolution of 1 foot per pixel. -Drew

Mars Express' HRSC can reach 10m/pixel at periapsis. The MOC can take 1.4m/pixel images in "normal" mode, and has taken pictures as high as 50cm/pixel by both rolling and yawing the spacecraft to "super resolve" surface details. HIRISE on MRO is expected to reach 25cm/pixel. -Tim.

And no matter what resolution you get, the Art Bell crowd will still manage to Rorschach them and "discover" a Marscape littered with automobile parts or whatever...
