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!

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was only 5 million kilometers from Mars at 2006-Feb-18 12:41:54 UTC.
For Mac OS X users, you can download my widget to keep tracking the distance of the spacecraft to Mars on your Dashboard. Download: http://magicnumber.sourceforge.net/MRO.zip You can also make this distance as your signature on this forum, for the details, see http://magicnumber.sourceforge.net |
