New Martian Moon

Congratulations to NASA are in order. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter successfully entered Martian orbit today. This was a tricky maneuver that has destroyed past probes.

The orbit is highly elliptical. Over the next six months the orbit will be adjusted and tightened into a very fast two hour orbit.

Now, go find us a place to land astronauts!
