0500 GMT (12:00 a.m. EST)

The navigation team in Mission Control reports they detect entry into the atmosphere.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:03

0501 GMT (12:01 a.m. EST)

The Opportunity lander is now transmitting a tone that tells Mission Control is it decelerating at several g's.

0502 GMT (12:02 a.m. EST)

Maximum deceleration has been reached between 6 and 7 g's.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:05

0502 GMT (12:02 a.m. EST)

Altitude 12 miles, some 27 miles uprange from the landing site. Deceleration continues as the spacecraft plunges through the atmosphere.

0503 GMT (12:03 a.m. EST)

Deceleration has eased to less than 1 g. Standing by for chute deployment at a speed of 1,000 mph.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:05

0503 GMT (12:03 a.m. EST)

Deceleration has eased to less than 1 g. Standing by for chute deployment at a speed of 1,000 mph.

0504 GMT (12:04 a.m. EST)

Chute is out! Mission Control has received indication of deployment of Opportunity's supersonic parachute.

0504 GMT (12:04 a.m. EST)

The heat shield has been jettisoned! This exposing the lander inside the descent module.

0505 GMT (12:05 a.m. EST)

The radar is measuring the approaching surface. Standing by for retro rocket ignition.

0505 GMT (12:05 a.m. EST)

The braking rockets have been ignited! Touchdown will occur any moment.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:06

E' ARRIVATO!!!!!

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:07

0505 GMT (12:05 a.m. EST)

BOUNCING ON MARS! Mission Control has received a signal of Opportunity bouncing on the surface of Mars.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:10

0506 GMT (12:06 a.m. EST)

After a short loss of signal from the rover, a strong signal is now being received as Opportunity arrives on Mars!

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:11

0508 GMT (12:08 a.m. EST)

A good signal is still being received! Unlike the Spirit landing where signal was lost immediately after touchdown, Opportunity continues to talk to Earth.

0508 GMT (12:08 a.m. EST)

Complete joy and relief in Mission Control as Opportunity has landed at Meridiani Planum.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:12

C'E' SCHWARZY NELLA SALA MISSIONE!

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:13

E PURE L'EX-VICEPRESIDENTE AL GORE!

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:14

0510 GMT (12:11 a.m. EST)

Signals from Opportunity now show that the spacecraft is rolling. Following the initial impact, the airbag shrouded spacecraft bounces and rolls for several minutes before coming to a rest.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:21

0514 GMT (12:14 a.m. EST)

Mission Control is still receiving evidence that Opportunity is slowly rolling, which is expected.

0516 GMT (12:16 a.m. EST)

The roll continues -- more than 10 minutes after the impact.

0517 GMT (12:17 a.m. EST)

Opportunity is still moving!

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:22

0519 GMT (12:19 a.m. EST)

Mission Control still seeing a very slow motion from the rover.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:23

0522 GMT (12:22 a.m. EST)

Opportunity is telling controllers that no faults or errors were experienced during the rollout.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:25

0523 GMT (12:23 a.m. EST)

Initial indication is being received that the rover has landed on the +Y petal down.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:26

0523 GMT (12:23 a.m. EST)

Controllers still see a fluctuation in the data that would indicate the vehicle is still rolling. However, engineers suspect that may not be true.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:26

0525 GMT (12:25 a.m. EST)

A strong signal is still being received from Opportunity -- now 20 minutes since touchdown.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:28

0526 GMT (12:26 a.m. EST)

The Mars Global Surveyor orbiter collected data from Opportunity during the entry, descent and landing sequence. That information is transmitted to Earth for engineers to analyze.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:31

0528 GMT (12:28 a.m. EST)

With Opportunity resting on the surface of Mars at Meridiani Planum, it will use motors to retract the impact-cushioning airbags. The lander then will open up like a flower, lowering its petals to reveal the rover tucked inside.

Next, the rover will deploy its power-generating solar panels. Then the Pancam Mast Assembly will be raised up. It can begin taking some pictures of the landing site once those events are completed. Those initial images, if snapped this evening, would be relayed to Earth via the Mars Odyssey orbiter overnight.

GioFX · 25-01-2004, 05:34

0532 GMT (12:32 a.m. EST)

Preliminary data shows the initial impact was two-or-three g's, a JPL spokesperson says.
