You guys make it look like you're playing with Tinkertoys and not a dish the size of a building. Great job to all of you.

When DSS45 made its first tilt, right at the beginning of the lift, was it also looking at Mars then?

Yes, we were tracking MRO and Odyssey when the dish was being lifted.
Later we were tracking Geotail as the quad was being moved.

It really has been a great day.
