Okay, we're off and running! Please post all comments relating to MSL's transit to Mars here.
-------------------- 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.

Not sure if mentioned here before, but radio amateurs from Germany, Bochum have received signals (X-band telemetry) from MSL last year.
It should be the first reception of the MSL outside the official NASA DSN and USN tracking station at Dongara, Australia. http://www.uk.amsat.org/2578 |
