RTG genereating 115 Watts, more power than expected. Gale is a little warmer than prediction, no issues.

MSL rover Azimuth is updated by a degree, verified by mastcam.

Used Mastcam image to update the HGA azimuth
Nice to see Trosper again, I remember she was impressive on MPF

Heh. Hat tip to conspiracy theorists! Saying people might think NASA is pulling a fast one and that they put a rover out in the mojave desert. :D

SkyCrane provided some free trenching with the thruster inpingments.

Six entry balance mass devices spotted by MRO
(two Cruise Balance mass devices not seen yet I guess)
EMBD jettisoned relatively low about 20 km or so; CMBD jettisoned out in space so I'm really curious how they fared
