Does anyone know where I can access a daily ephemeris for the Curiosity landing site? E.g. Sun rise/set, Earth rise/set, MRO/Odyssey/Mars Express transits, etc?
Thanks, Tom |

Very cool Adam - what is "Guide" software? (LOTS of google results searching for that!) Does anyone know of a publicly-accessible MSL surface operations page or other resource that would include this information? Thanks, Tom |
