7.8.6 EuropaCam

EuropaCam consists of three imagers. A visible-light color imager will take digital pictures of the Europan landscape and its features. There are also an infrared and an ultraviolet imager. They are all located on a circular track, just below the HGA. They can move along the track to look in any (horizontal) direction, allowing panoramic views of the landing site to be taken.
