NASA uses new camera to plan Mars mission

To help NASA managers choose potential landing sites for a 2009 Mars rover mission, a new mineral-mapping camera is being used to narrow their options. To help decide, the group will be using 125 new images from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) camera.
The camera is circling the planet on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and is operated by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The camera has produced over 2,500 high-resolution images of Mar's surface and nearly 3,000 atmospheric observations.
