I was not allowed to keep any of the pictures or video of the development work.  There was a really neat video of the first plume test which was done a bit after midnight in the field where the company I was doing work for performed such tests.  It was a 15 foot long bright white plume coming out of a 2.5 inch diameter thrust motor...

Fingers-crossed that it all goes well - if it's only half as successful as Spirit and Opportunity it'll still be a fantastic achievement  :)
