Re: Yes . . .

Good point about color images from Earth orbiting satellites.

Here's a web site with color satellite images of Earth down to the meter scale:

Gallery Space Imaging.

I believe the problem with combining the separate filter images from Mars Odyssey into a single color image is that the spacecraft moves as the color filters are switched so you have not only the problem of matching up the different pixels from the separate images but also the problem that viewing angle changes as the spacecraft moves.
Anyone know how Earth-orbiting satellites deal with this problem?
