The IMP camera is a near-surface sensing experiment with many capabilities beyond those normally associated with an imager. It is fully pointable in both elevation and azimuth with a protected, stowed position looking straight down. Stereo separation is provided with two optical paths; each has a 12-position filter wheel. The primary function of the camera, strongly tied to mission success, is to take a color panorama of the surrounding terrain. IMP requires approximately 120 images to give a complete downward hemisphere from the deployed position. IMP provides the geologist, and everyone else, a view of the local morphology with millimeter-tometer-scale resolution over a broad area. In addition to the general morphology of the scale, IMP has a large compliment of specially chosen filters to aid in both the identification of the mineral types and their degree of weathering.
