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!

It's odd to think that from 'aboe' - MRO's burn which actually increase it's speed - but because it will being 'run over' by mars, it will be slowing down w.r.t. Mars itself
I hope they release the op-nav imagery - I'm sure it wont be particularly great, but it will make an interesting little movie watchign Phobos and Deimos doing their thing Doug |
