Successful touchdown


--------------------

I second climber's comments - kudos to the UMSF team for letting us share this! The site worked smoothly right through landing. And thanks to dmuller for the great simulation.

Oh yeah, and, according to my formula, Mars currently occupies 180 degrees from the viewpoint of Phoenix! biggrin.gif
