Re: For Robert Clark
Looks like a good plan. The Mars Express 2003 mission and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter 2005 mission will use what are called hyperspectral spectrometers to measure hundreds of different wavelength bands *simultaneously*. This will eliminate the problem of having to combine different wavelength bands taken at slightly different times and the problems connected with that.
This idea should also be used on lander missions instead of imaging in R, G, B and having to combine the images.
Anyone know the method used for the MER 2003 lander missions?
