NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe applauded the success of the Mars landing saying, "This is a big night for NASA. We're back." He poured champagne for each of the team principals on stage. Then Rob Manning, the project's manager (last frame above), gave a quick update on the lander/rover. The craft has landed correct side up and the protective petal flaps are unfolding to expose the rover to the Mars surface environment (illustration shown above). Since all engineering data indicate a textbook landing, we could see images from the landing craft transmitted via the orbiting Mars Odyssey satellite by 2:30am eastern this morning. Good coverage is starting to appear at SpaceRef.com. I'm staying up.
