I have just tested Scansat, so far it seems a good mod with lots of info and a cool map here's what the mod does according to the dwl page : RADAR Altimetry Sensor : The basic RADAR scanner. This part will create a quick, but low resolution altimetry scan in black and white. This will also detect slope angle. Works from 5km out to 500km. SAR Altimetry Sensor : Similar to the basic RADAR, but scans at a higher resolution. Requires a higher altitude than the basic RADAR scan. Works best out at 750km. Multispectral Sensor : This sensor can detect the type of biome and can also detect anomalies. Works best around 250Km. Been There Done That®: This is different to the other scanners as it only works within 2000m. It will identify nearby anomalies. Works well on a rover or plane. MapTraq®: MapTraq, isn't a scanner, it just allows you to display the results of other scans. Useful if you need to navigate your rover on a body that you've already scanned. source : http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/entries/1103-Using-SCANSat So there is not really a camera, i mean you can't select one of those and just zoom in like a crazy where you want. So it's probably the closest mod there is but no camera. Mounting a lens on a spaceship and to be able to select it, go into a "first person" view and just aim where you want and zoom like 500x or more would be very nice
