Where is the "Clean Feed" without commentary that the NASA PR lady was talking about?

Managed to grab 3 hrs sleep, but back at desk now... sky brightening to a beautiful Lake District shade of "murky grey" outside... Coffee is on, peanuts are open...

Bring it on.

Awesome job Mr Ellison - 400k users of Eyes on the solar system, yowzaa. Can't say I'm surprised as I have my own mini mission control running here - Eyes running on the HDTV is space nerd heaven, NASA TV streaming in on a tablet, UMSF on the main PC screen, Emily\Fraser & TBA on Google+ , Twitter on my phone...

Thanks for the kind wishes, guys. Life just got real busy and complicated, and I needed time for some things that couldn't come from anywhere else but the hours I would spend on this forum every day. That doesn't mean I haven't been lurking from time to time -- after all, where else can I get my fix of high-quality images from the Martian surface? Really been enjoying the pictures from Oppy, especially the latest of her straddling Whim Creek.

As for de-lurking tonight, I decided I couldn't experience this night without sharing it with my like-minded friends.

Good to see all of you, too.

I actually bailed early from Planetfest in Pasadena to be here as well...understand completely. smile.gif

Let's do this thing.

EDIT: T minus 1 hour for Earth-returned time landing confirmation.

Hey everyone.

Rob here. I am in the CMSA at entry minus an hour. We have asked the DSN to turn off its transmitter and we are in listen-only mode right now.

I will be seated with Gay Hill on NASA TV just after 9 PDT tonight until Entry (and perhaps again jsut after landing). I am feeling a tad anxious. I can hear my heart beating in my voca headset.

There is a real party feel at JPL and around Pasadena right now. Our team in in a good but a bit surreal mood. This is my 5th time and it is always surreal.

I keep saying that we no longer need luck. If it works, we have already made it work. If it fails, we have already made it fail. No one to blame but ourselves.

Our nav estimate indicates that we will be only 250 m off from our projected target that we programmed in last week. Amazing.

I hope you have fun.

I was just in the middle of typing a post asking when we might get confirmation that Odyssey has completed its attitude change, when the NASA TV commentary announced they're in the middle of the turn, so I imagine we'll get some kind of a confirmation here in the next ten to twenty minutes. ***fingers and toes crossed***

However, I also note that the Navigation officer just called for a conference on a local loop, off the air. Hope nothing is wrong with any of assets at Mars or onboard the spacecraft.

NASATV just showed what the professionals are using; based on actual data, not the simulation.
Even a fuel gage!
