NASA Hosts Teleconference About Curiosity Rover Progess
PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA will host a media teleconference at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT) on Tuesday, Aug.14, to provide a status update on the Curiosity rover's mission to Mars' Gale Crater.
The Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft delivered Curiosity to its target area on Mars at 10:31 p.m. PDT, Aug. 5 (1:31 a.m. EDT, Aug. 6). Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., spent last week beginning initial checks of Curiosity's 10 instruments and updating software for its two-year mission to investigate whether conditions have been favorable for microbial life and preserving clues in the rocks about possible past life.
Audio of the event will be streamed live online at:

Good to know that there will be more of these new conferences. I understand that they might not be every day like last week, but I hope that we get them at least once a week for a few months.
Edit:
This seems like it's not going to be on NASA TV. It should be in my opinion.

I would agree too, but they obviously have no new images as they are working on driving software.
I can wait

If someone wants to, we could use a dedicated image update thread? The highlights so far, then posts as they issue new ones. Avoids them getting lost in the live thread (where they can also be posted still).

...

I want to warn you all about something here. These teleconferences are common in unmanned spaceflight but less so in manned. I follow UMSF closely so I've listened to a lot of these -- or at least attempted to.
NASA will NOT offer this audio up in an archive after the fact. I've bugged them about this before, and they've explained that if they offer it up, then they also have to create a transcript and other formats in order to meet federal accessibility rules for government agency output. And that strains the budget for what they think is a low demand item.
However there is nothing stopping someone else here from recording it and offering it up
Just in case, though, I'll be listening live ...

It appears that the right rear wheel is already straight? I thought they are all still in it's "flight" position...

I will give it a try
mp3 32kbit/s avg. stereo @ 22050Hz, one hour should be less than 20 000 KB attachment limit. If there are no warnings from admins I will attach it.

The cutover to software release 10 went without any problems.
Now they will do more testing on the instruments - APXS and DAN.
Also they will do an electrical checkout of Chemin.
