   Pierre: L'animation a été produit en utilisant Celestia (un logiciel special pour montrer des perspectives réelles de ce qui se passe dans l'espace) et notre video montre d'ailleurs les conditions d'illumination exactes au moment du passage de Mars Express.

   "All instruments OFF, except ASPERA"

   Does this mean that there will be no images taken. ?

   Robert: All instruments (except for ASPERA) were off just last evening during the closest approach - so as to give priority to radio science. All other instruments will be employed starting in a day or so. The full list is here: http://webservices.esa.int/blog/post/7/1024
