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 think I'd rather have the "OMFG thank god for that" moment of the earliest possible HGA signal back on earth suggesting a good burn than the kodak moment to be honest.
MGS did take an Earth and Jupiter image some time ago - perhaps in an extended mission, HiRISE could 'do' earth as well, but in the meantime, I want it looking down Doug |
