Mars landing tomorrow!

Filed under: — Joel @ 12:08 am

The Pheonix Mars landing is going to be heading in for a touchdown real soon. The mission scientists have passed up making any corrections to its trajectories tonight, as everything seems to be on course, giving them just one more chance tomorrow to line it up right. A dust storm was over the landing site recently, but should have moved on by the time its due to land. Should be exciting!

You can, I think, watch the landing live by going here and clicking the “SPACE.com’s NASA TV feed” link! It’ll be landing at midnight GMT Sunday, or around 10am Aussie Monday, but stuff will be happening an hour and a half before that! Exciting!
