A descent image

Here's a descent image taken from 1690 meters. The
picture is nothing to write home about but the mission ops guys will be able to
use this to locate MER precisely. Navigation is a big deal with the rover.

Interesting comments from the MER press conference. - Gary - 1/4/2004 7:07:15 AM
- Does the descent camera return pictures or is it just " to aid a system for reducing horizontal motion just before impact."? (n/t) - RobVG - 1/4/2004 7:20:04 AM
