the camera will be a 3.2-gigapixel device constructed of a mosaic of 189 CCD sensors sensitive to ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light.
just like a space geek -- they get a brand new camera and immediately go and do an IR conversion.....

On a serious note, they say it will take 800 pictures a night?!? Think of all the computing power and file storage space it will need!
