I just heard that Odyssey went into safe mode on Saturday. I haven't seen any official announcement yet.

One result is that MER is having to replan using direct to earth only. Current estimate is that Odyssey will not be able to support UHF relay until "mid-week at the earliest".

I'll hold one end - and you start walking, stop when I give it two tugs so I can tie the next reel on, then get going when I give it three tugs.

That - or wait for MRO- with it's 4mbps downlink smile.gif

I think MEX is about as able as Odyssey - and it would be a nice repayment of the Odyssey-Beagle 2 attempts - if Odyssey takes a few days longer that would be a very good idea - but with MARSIS antenna deployment due soon - would they be up for it?
