Still shows as starting at 0030 GMT on the website. Promo for coverage on now.
EDIT: Confirmed. Placard for Phone Home on NASA TV now. EDIT2: Verbal announcement that program will start in 2 min. -------------------- 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.

Interesting -- I saw an update on the NASA TV landing page a couple of hours ago saying it was changing to 01:30 UTC. Well, we'll see what happens, unsure what they're going to say with another more than an hour before we hear if NH phoned home.

Some new images would be nice
 I'm also wondering about the "dunes" that were hinted at in yesterday's image, but seemingly absent from today's image?

QUOTE (MahFL @ Jul 15 2015, 12:21 AM)  She said the phone home signal will indicate which sequences ran ok, whether there had been any computer resets and the amount of the recorder used. It was mentioned during one of the news feeds that 8Gb (2 x 4Gb) of memory had been filled following the last transmission. |

Now's also a chance to see just how fast EOTSS; one tab with it and another with the stream.

I would be very surprised if we see any surface on Pluto that dates back to the impact that created Charon. Charon has a fair number of craters, so any surface on Pluto that's that old should also be covered with craters.
Maybe the Charon impact created some enduring internal structure, but the surface has to be newer than that everywhere that we've seen so far. |

July 15, 00:46 UTC, the Phone Home signal should be crossing the orbit of MARS, just 4 minutes before the signal arrives at the DSN Madrid antenna.
NASA TV transmission is ongoing. Fernando |

Interesting video of nitrogen freezing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0rK2bLTimQ Seems to have a somewhat violent behaviour at phase change - could be an agent in a weathering process. See attached phase diagram for reference (it would be nice to see how it extends down to microbar pressures)
