We're now 45 days from landing, so as of 23 Jun please post all comments related to the end of the transit to Mars here.

Just for clarity's sake, we're talking about delayed return of the full EDL data set as the worst-case scenario in this situation, correct?
Would hate to lose any of that; you only get one shot per landing to get it, and it's invariably quite valuable for future mission planning. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

we're talking about delayed return of the full EDL data set as the worst-case scenario in this situation, correct? Not sure what you mean by "full data set" but Theisinger said the EDL pics would be stored and beamed back to Earth from the ground up, meaning LIFO style. The first EDL pics beamed back will be the ones taken closest to the ground and it would take 2-3 days to get all the pics. |
