Saw the MSL video, which was similar to the MER video. It was awesome. Will try to get a copy

they often have duplicate circuits for really critical pyrotechnics. Duplicate pyros, wiring, everything.
It's extraordinarily rare for pyros to fail to fire. Last time I remember that happening, they put one large sat on a ?Titan? built for two, and wired the spacecraft separation to the wrong pyro-lines. When the booster control sent the separation command, it went down the wires to the non-existent pyros to separate the nonexistant second sat. That was the last one the Shuttle rescued before they stopped doing that sort of thing. |

It's going to be funny to look back and see rover tracks just starting from nowhere. Hadn't occurred to me before.
(I guess we might get a bit of a mark from the rockets?) |
