From the article Ken posted they discuss the imaging gear for the shot
of the Pheonix parachuting down ...
It seems to me that Richard and the other TAC imagers may 'enjoy' such a
modest setup ...
Near the end of the article:
"... each full frame from HiRISE is 20,000 by 40,000 pixels ... "
Ideal for home use ...
