Good morning from Los Angeles! Today of course is the big day, and this where we'll talk about Perseverance's entry, descent, and landing. For those members who haven't been on UMSF during a Mars landing, days like this have been quite a bit of fun--enjoy!
 Please see the Perseverance Arrival- Media Coverage Options thread for links to various ways to watch it happen. NASA TV coverage is now live at 0930 PST (1730 UTC). UMSF's own Emily Lakdawalla, author of "The Design and Engineering of Curiosity", will be hosting a YouTube broadcast of her own and her highly informed commentary interspersed with real-time events from JPL will be a first-class option. Here's the planned sequence of events in Earth-received time (US Pacific Standard Time) and UTC. Times are of course approximate; there may be variations on the order of a few seconds. Get your peanuts and beverage of choice ready, and let's land on Mars!!! 12:38 (2038 UTC)- Cruise stage separation 12:48 (2048 UTC)- Atmospheric entry interface 12:49 (2049 UTC)- Peak heating, peak deceleration 12:52 (2052 UTC)- Chute deploy 12:52:20 (2052:20 UTC)- Heat shield separation 12:54 (2054 UTC)- Backshell separation, beginning of powered flight 12:55 (2055 UTC)- Skycrane, touchdown -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

QUOTE (nprev @ Feb 18 2021, 03:18 PM)  Livecast from JPL live now on NASA TV. As Emily mentioned in her blog, the NASA Media stream has no commentators, just JPL call outs: https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#media So far, everything is A-OK |

They keep saying "meters" to target. Is the target the landing spot they would like below the cliffs ?
