Hey again, everyone. This thread will be for discussion of anything that happens between now & landing day, currently 26 Nov US Pacific time (UTC-8 hrs during that part of the year).

Got it, and thanks for the great details, Doug. So, there is very little flex possible (none, really; it's all about error correction).
X-band...yes, please, and here's rooting for the MarCOs! A bit surprised that MRO doesn't have a bent pipe capability while MODY does, but I assume that's probably because a- MRO's primary mission payloads took up the mass budget and b- nobody seriously thought at the time that we'd have more than one operational surface asset AT a time for long enough to justify it. -------------------- 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.
