The MRO webpage has new graphics for the orbit diagrams. There is also a countdown to something called "The Endgame" (only 37 hours away as I type this!). What could that refer to? Final orbits of aerobraking? End of the aerobraking? Boosting out of the aerobraking orbit? This is all very mysterious.

Now this is what I was hoping for right from the start of the aerobraking!! Looks like they are way ahead of the process. Maybe they are getting good at this aerobraking thing or the orbiter is better designed then they had thought and could push the limits more on it. Only on orbit 373 where 500 was the figure that comes to mind for the initial number of orbits needed.
Either way, Now for the countdown to the new pics when they get the orbiter out of aerobrake mode smile.gif Maybe get a pic of Victoria crater same time Oppy gets there..that would be WAY cool . biggrin.gif

cheers
