Hey again, everyone. This thread will be for discussion of anything that happens between now & landing day, currently 26 Nov US Pacific time (UTC-8 hrs during that part of the year).
-------------------- 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.

Presumably you are still seeing the rotation rate of Mars in the Phoenix data.
However, I'm not sure what the point of doing anything with the Phoenix data is anyway unless you are going to pretend that the Insight trajectory is exactly the same, which of course it won't be. One could write a very simple program to extract position from the Insight SPK files using the SPICELIB spkezr function, but I don't know how accurately those files try to model EDL. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
