Hello again all,
I thought I might draw your attention to the special Mars page I've put up at
www.spaceinfo.com.au/marsmain.html
As Liz has mentioned, NASA TV will be covering it from 8:00am Sydney time for those who want to witness the landing on the web. (You know what I mean -- there won't be any live pictures coming back, but hopefully there'll be lots of shots of excited people jumping around in mission control.) If you're near a TV with cable/satellite, you can also watch coverage on Sky News from (I'm guessing) around 9:45am. Yours truly will be there, burbling on in my usual fashion.
If you live in or near Canberra, you can go along to the NASA tracking station at Tidbinbilla where they'll be having live feeds and special activities. There's a link at the same page quoted above.
Only one image is expected back from Mars on the first day -- it should be in by shortly after midday Sydney time.
Cheers,
Jonathan
