Initial parking orbit is good - at last we're off the ground
During ascent I suddenly thought "woh, if this doesnt work - MSL is going to suffer a lot" - and got rather nervous  Not out of the woods yet- another centaur burn to go - and actually, I was suprised to hear that the centaur put the parking orbit perigee about 6 nm off target - that's a lot. Doesnt really matter that much I'd have though - it IS only a parking orbit after all, and it'll probabyl be made up on the second burn Doug

They've already got 2:1 compression there - and they can always nest levels of detail - full res for the middle 4000 pixels, 2x2 binned thereafter etc etc
