Chris Bergin - 10/3/2006 10:21 AMLive coverage, links, images, the whole shabang, on this thread.We'll be on dual coverage tonight, given we might have the Ariane 5 ECA (fourth attempt) launch this evening at the same time.
RedSky - 10/3/2006 10:53 AMOT for this thread... but what IS the status of MSL? I heard it might be put off till 2011. Also, did they go with the "Sky-Crane" or a more conventional lander, or still up in the air?
hyper_snyper - 10/3/2006 7:21 PMCan I sneak in a quick question before the action starts?I've read MRO's velocity at orbit insertion is 11000 mph. That seems a bit slow. I understand orbital velocities for Earth and Mars are different but did it slow down between now and when it launched?
