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.

Can anyone point me to a solar system simulator that shows the relative positions of Tianwen, Hope and Perserverance? I found Perserverance on NASA’s Eyes not the other two. Tried googling around but no luck. Would be much appreciated!

Can anyone point me to a solar system simulator that shows the relative positions of Tianwen, Hope and Perserverance? JPL Horizons had some early optically-derived elements for Tianwen-1 but I expect those will rapidly become inaccurate. Hope is being tracked by the DSN but I don't know who is doing their navigation [edit: KinetX is doing it] or if any information is being publicly shared. So any simulation would be fairly schematic. [Oops, spoke too soon, Hope is on Horizons at EMM (spacecraft ID -62)] -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
