MRO has shifted from the cruise phase to Approach phase. Apparently, the trajectory is so good that TCM-3 was cancelled. This is good news for the prospects for a long life for MRO supporting future missions. TCM-4 is on Feb 28, and MOI on March 10. Only 5 weeks away!

I hope they did a double ckeck in metrics and not just rely on the usual NASA units of ancient Kings appendages and Roman marching steps and bushels of wheat, but mistakes like that couldn't happen could they?? |
