Coming up in our webcast, Launch Director Chuck Dovale will take us through launch day, and Deputy Project Scientist Sue Smrekar will answer your questions about the mission. Question winners will be announced at the end of this show. (Wikimedia)
Final preparations for NASA's next mission to Mars have been completed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission is scheduled to liftoff from Cape Canaveral in August 2005 aboard an Atlas V rocket. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: And NASA Launch Manager Chuck Dovale has just announced that we are scrubbing for today. Twenty-four hour scrub. We will attempt to get Chuck Dovale here on console, or, or his deputy, to explain what's happened. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control at T minus 1 hour, 36 minutes, 23 seconds and counting. We're here with Jim Graf, the MRO project manager from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control at T minus 2 hours and holding. The countdown is under way in the Atlas Space Operations Center. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control at T minus 2 hours and holding. We're now entering the final phase of the launch countdown for NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The countdown began at 7:03 p.m. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control at T minus 50 minutes and counting, with a single 10-minute, built-in hold remaining. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control, T minus 1 hour, 15 minutes, 15 seconds and counting, leading toward a launch this morning at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: This is Atlas launch control. We have with us NASA Launch Manager Chuck Dovale to talk to us about the anomaly that scrubbed today's launch attempt of the Atlas V with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: T minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition and liftoff of the Atlas V rocket with MRO, surveying for the deepest insights into the mysterious evolution of Mars. (Wikimedia)
GEORGE DILLER: We have with us here now Chuck Dovale, the NASA launch manager for today's countdown. Chuck, it looked like things went fairly smoothly today. CHUCK DOVALE: What a, what a difference a day makes, George. (Wikimedia)
HOST TIFFANY NAIL: Once the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reaches its destination, then scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California will have a new and powerful observer of the Red Planet. (Wikimedia)
HOST: Hello and welcome to NASA Direct's prelaunch webcast for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission, the next step in our exploration of the Red Planet. I'm your host, Tiffany Nail. (Wikimedia)
MISSION CONTROL: We have Spacecraft separation. (Clapping) Centaur has arrested its roll rate. GEORGE DILLER: And we have confirmation of separation now. This....... (Wikimedia)
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, or MRO spacecraft, has arrived at Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a C-17 cargo plane to prepare it for an exciting journey to Mars. (Wikimedia)
Pawan also has another question. Could you explain more about the experimental navigation camera and how it is different from the other cameras that the MRO is carrying? Sure. (Wikimedia)
TIFFANY NAIL: So what happens just after liftoff? Just how does the MRO spacecraft get from Earth to Mars? Dr. Richard Zurek, MRO project scientist, takes a closer look with this fascinating animation. (Wikimedia)
The MRO launch will usher in a first for NASA. The spacecraft will be carried aloft by a Lockheed Martin Atlas V rocket. Mission integration manager Tammy Harrington explains why the Atlas is the rocket for the job. (Wikimedia)
