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!

And the press conf is in an hour and a bit as well One item from the press conference: other than the test images on March 14, there will be no images during the entire aerobraking phase--the instruments will be on "survival heaters" and the electronics will not be exercised at all. -------------------- |
