Mars Rover Curiosity Hovering

The latest Mars Rover is about to arrive at around 6:30 am on Monday UK time. I've just been watching a preview that you can download from Nasa

You can view what's happening live and also get a preview of the landing with all the details of speed and altitude. The last bit of hovering looks impressive before the rover is lowered to the surface.

I read an article on this in the metro the other day, really interesting stuff, i cant wait to see if it lands sucessfully! its a mental mission to have to do!

Lets hope they have fitted a colour camera this time, and not a black and white one or one with a bit of red plastic over the lens....
