Word today that the MMRTG has been installed on the rover, so seems like a good time to start the launch thread. Launch currently scheduled for 30 Jul, 2-hr window opening at 1150 GMT.
GO PERSEVERANCE!!! -------------------- 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.

From Shannon Stirone @shannonmstirone:
QUOTE These spacecraft are designed to talk to us from billions of miles away so when they start talking and are nearby it's like overloading the system and making it hard for us to understand what its saying. I'd say that qualifies as a problem, despite what was said earlier.. QUOTE Perseverance is talking so loudly and is still so close that NASA is having trouble locking onto telemetry data from the rover. This will likely get easier as it moves farther way, but they have a carrier lock which means we know it's ok. https://twitter.com/shannonmstirone/status/...862886710743041 I assume that this is a problem with every launch, and that sometimes DSN solves it it a couple of minutes, other times it takes longer. |
