interesting pictures. omg 9 tb thats a lot of data, almost as much as the amount of porn i download on a month base.
Beautiful shots!
I made an assignment about HiRISE (hi-resolution telescope). It's a very pimped digital camera. Can make 800MP shots, by scanning the surface like a copier. Its ground resolution is (max) 3cm/pixel.
Wow, 3cm per pixel, that's really sharp, way better than Earth observation. But of course there is little atmosphere on Mars to hinder observation.
Sorry, that was a lie (or maybe typo ;).
It's 30cm.
Ah that sounds more likely :)
