I don't believe so, not so far anyway, that'd be a technical feat itself.

- viewer5 12y agoHow come? It's just a stream of images, right? Though the power cost of transmission might be high, I guess; I don't know how these things work.
- Brakenshire 12y agoThey've only sent back two images so far, I think we can assume that the bandwidth of the signal is very low, at that distance. At the moment it's better to use it for sending data than pictures. Perhaps they will have stored something like that locally, and can transmit them later.
- noselasd 12y agoBut you then have to have the capability of taking pictures at a decent frame rate, and the capability and bandwidth to store and forward those images to earth, which these 2 spacecrafts do not have.
