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.

Can someone give any more detailed insight on how exactly does the TRN work ? Are they aiming for a safe spot at the center of the landing ellipse, or any safe spot ?

...how exactly does the TRN work ? Are they aiming for a safe spot at the center of the landing ellipse, or any safe spot ? It has a catalog of multiple safe spots within the ellipse and guides toward the closest one based on imaging. See https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/a-neil-armstr...mars-2020-rover and https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/handle/2014/46186 -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
