QUESTION:
After the Surveyor arrives at Mars in September, will its camera have
sufficient resolution that it will be able to photograph Pathfinder lying on
the Martian surface?
 
ANSWER from Guy Beutelschies on July 19, 1997:
Unfortunately Mars Global Surveyor's camera does not have the 1 meter
resolution which is what it would take to discern Pathfinder (although it is
an excellent camera).  It will, however, take very good pictures of the
region we landed in so that scientists on both projects can compare their
findings.
