MEX :Mars Express, so called because of the rapid and streamlined development time, represents ESA's first visit to another planet in the Solar System. MEX/VMC :The Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) is a stand-alone digital camera installed on board the Mars Express spacecraft in order to take snapshots in colour of the Mars Lander.id:MEX/VMC.a |
