THE IMAGER FOR MARS PATHFINDER TEAM
The IMP, the lander camera on the Mars Pathfinder mission, was designed and built primarily at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, with help from collaborators around the world. The CCD detector, which registers light, was made in Germany, the magnets were made in Denmark, the windsocks were designed at Arizona State University, and the United States Geological Survey is assisting with the terrain mapping. The IMP travelled to Mars aboard the Mars Pathfinder, which was built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
