An experiment of the size and complexity of the MOC is truly a team effort; no one person, or even small group, can design, develop, fabricate, test, and operate such a device; we are deeply indebted to the literally hundreds of people without whom the Mars Observer, and later Mars Global Surveyor Camera, could not have been built and flown to Mars.
