Amazing how that tension and anxiety quite literally drains away when you hear "TOUCHDOWN"

Someone remind me now, when can we possibly expect images?

"Solar arrays open" is listed as occurring at 00:06:33 ERT (UTC). Does anyone remember when confirmation that this worked is due? My guess would be during the Mars Odyssey relay that begins about 01:43UTC.... -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Someone remind me now, when can we possibly expect images? Little shy of 90 min from now, Dan. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I second climber's comments - kudos to the UMSF team for letting us share this! The site worked smoothly right through landing. And thanks to dmuller for the great simulation.
Oh yeah, and, according to my formula, Mars currently occupies 180 degrees from the viewpoint of Phoenix! ![]() |

Yes - I can attest to the 32 year time span, having been at JPL for the Viking 2 landing...
