http://lupuvictor.blogspot.com The Descent of MSL (Curiosity) Captured by HiRISE
This picture give me a warm fuzzy feeling up and down my leg.
MRO’s HiRISE camera , like an eye in the sky, caught this shot of the parachute and MSL during landing at Mars.
And that is from 340 kilometers of MRO’s altitude almost directly overhead Curiosity’s flight path.
This is true. You can see this news on HIRISE website.
Let’s think about the level of predictability that NASA have archived, because they send a spacecraft from Earth, down to a narrow strip on Mars and have a orbiter taking pictures of the spacecraft
This is absolutely fantastic! Congratulations to NASA!
