MRO playback complete.
One minute to start Mars Express playback. (At UnmannedSpaceflight, someone mentioned and confirmed MRO was going to try to take EDL images. More likely to not succeed, but wouldn't the entry streak fom above look cool? Keep fingers crossed.)

Emily Lakdawalla should be (re-)firing up her UStream live video chat soon. She had to make a phone call or something...
Oh, she's texting that she's trying to take her laptop and microphone into the press room. I hear something.... She's turned her computer around and is live-chatting the briefing -- or whatever is going to happen in the press room.

NASA TV direct feed (nothing much going on right now):
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html This feed runs about 52 seconds behind the cable TV version of the NASA Channel. If anyone has Direct TV, the Channel is # 283. |

It's not on NASA TV, but about 6 of the Phoenix team are meeting with maybe 30 members of the press for Q&A -- observed by an extra 180 people on Emily's live chat. Edit: It was hard to hear it all. Emily briefly summarized that there were no surprises and everything was pretty much on the money. She's stopping the chat to go work on her blog that pooped out during EDL. It's back up.

Ms. Emily says Phoenix successfully turned so the solar panels would be aligned east-west, which was what they wanted. Also said the landing was on target, not exactly clear what that means.

In the ellipse. Parachute deployment was seven seconds later than expected but in the nominal window. The best guess (based upon the late parachute) is that they are near the long end of the ellipse (my best guess, nothing official.)

Emily Lakdawalla's been chatting again for a while, answering questions: UStream live video chat
NASA TV (Yahoo version) slug claims: 6:30 PM PDT (now): Commentary, First Images Oops. It's on now. .3 degrees tilt. I think it was .68 degrees beyond nominal direction orientation. Nice. Parachute about 7 seconds late. Off axis slightly. Still analyzing. Thrilled with results. (Emily just signed off.)

Engineer is saying it couldn't have gone better. Spacecraft is tilted 0.3 degrees. Reading off lots of numbers.
Parachute deployment seven seconds late. Landing slightly "off-axis" as a result. Will get more detailed information in 12 minutes. Ops team in Tucson is taking over.
