Hey, all. So we're roughly 21 days (Earth, not Mars! smile.gif ) from touchdown right now, and NASA has released a schedule of planned arrival coverage (link below). Their first look-ahead briefing is tomorrow. This thread will serve as a place to post resources for landing coverage, esp. given that some of our international members may be interested in local and/or language-specific options for same. If you happen know of any of those please post links here.

As per UMSF custom, there will be a dedicated landing thread opened for the big event when we get close. Remember to have your snacks & beverages of choice ready, and peanuts are optional but encouraged! laugh.gif

NASA Perseverance Arrival Coverage (Scheduled)

The NASA EYES EDL sim is just brilliant.

My only crit is the funky displacement in the form of very many massive mounds ( obviously not present at Jezero ) that stream in as we come in for landing, which obfuscate the landing itself.

What an incredible thing it is to fling a robot at another planet and have the audacity to land safely on it!



edit: Just read Doug's post on the tweaks to be made. I have no doubt it will look just grea!

Yeah - I'm not getting that. What browser are you on, I'll let the team know.

Just checked again and displacement is still funky

Browser is Brave V1.20.103 (Feb 10, 2021) on PC / Windows 10

Chrome & Firefox are fine.

Yeah - I think Brave has a pretty wide swathe of WebGL issues. I'll fwd this onto the team but I doubt there's much they can do.
