Thanks guys I just snagged a few random Mars images from Google.&nbsp; I saw that page already on their site.&nbsp; I guess there is no actual physical view.. at least to the public of a view from Mars.&nbsp; I wish they would have more interaction with the rovers and satellites.&nbsp; Is it impossible to see the PML from the Mars Express or any orbiter once it lands?&nbsp; I realize this stuff was not designed for what I am asking for but if they had any PR program at all they'd know this is what the public wants.. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
