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!

here's an article from one of our local papers:
http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/news/local/030806a1_mars Apparently, a version of the article posted earlier today described a Mars Renaissance Orbiter. Now a number of folks in the HiRise Operations Center (really just a tucked away hallway in our building) are dressed up in renaissance costumes... Good grief, only a few more days until this madness ends. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

Jason, that's something that just demands taking a photo that you can torture them with later --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
