Wait for few minutes for a possible transmission of pictures. The solar panels will deploy a little after the touchdown. This pause allows the dust kicked up during the landing to settle and not collect on the arrays.

The site worked smoothly right through landing. And thanks to dmuller for the great simulation. Oh yeah, and, according to my formula, Mars currently occupies 180 degrees from the viewpoint of Phoenix!

I was actually with my family during landing 'cuz we were having a birthday party. I was watching live on the science channel when at T-5 minutes to landing my grandma was like "ok time for cake! clicks TV off" I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!". I don't think I've ever ran for the TV remote so fast in my life!
