Kickoff for Phoenix Landing Blog

It looks like JPL is going to join the blogging age, and have a Phoenix Landing Blog. That should be fun. The first post went up Monday…

As you can see, landing Phoenix on Mars is a massive team effort that requires a great deal of coordination and attention to detail. Over the next week we’ll hopefully offer some insight into those details as we post blog entries from various members of the team. On landing day I’ll be providing frequent updates following the action at JPL and in mission control at JPL during landing, so be sure to check back often to see the latest on our approach to the red planet.

I took a quick look around and didn’t see an RSS or Atom feed. Hmmm…

They started putting up the Pathfinder, MER, and Phoenix models in the mall again yesterday. I expect there’s lots of stuff happening on-lab on Sunday. I plan to go to Griffith Observatory to watch the landing events.
