Mastcam-Z design as of Critical Design Review The barrel of the Mastcam-Z instrument will be different from Curiosity's Mastcam. Mastcam-Z contains a zoom mechanism with two lens groups that will slide along a rail inside a barrel in order to zoom in and out over a range of at least 3:1. This design was current as of February 2017. ASU / Malin Space Science Systems, Inc. / Motiv Space Systems, Inc
