The two-yearly Le Bourget Air & Space show has opened today just outside Paris.
I will be there next saturday, looking forward to seeing some interesting unmanned spacecraft (in addition of course to a lot of airplanes including some on which I worked)
Anatoly Zak has already placed some pictures taken at Le Bourget today on his site http://www.russianspaceweb.com/lebourget2009/index.htm
Note in particular the German Mona Lisa moon lander, that was already there two years ago and a small model of the latest version of Fobos Grunt.

Unless that man is very short, the mast seems taller than I thought. That will give us better views of wherever Curiosity lands.
