Just listening to the MRO conference. Highlights included...
1) 5.4 Mbits is the highest MRO data rate (not the 4 I thought) 2) An extra 50-ish KG of fuel puts it's low-altitude orbit life thru to the next decade. 3) MTO HAS BEEN CANCELLED What the HELL! They say that MSL can still do its mission with just MRO as it's relay capacity will suffice. But that means less science data during an MRO extension  Seems a bit short sighted. Doug |
