Atmospheric entry has begun. Altitude about 120 km. Control room reports "E" ticket ride. Anyone here old enough to remember what that means? :-)

Pre entry poll complete
by Patrick Wiggins 24 Jan '04

24 Jan '04

The pre entry poll is complete. All systems "green" for hitting the atmosphere (not that there's much that could be done if anything was not green...) Goldstone and Canberra have a lock on the MGS spacecraft that will relay info from the lander once on the surface.
