It's down, first signal has been sent apparently it's still bouncing. I was up all night for the last one.
Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has landed.

Can you pick up the signal? Are you an amateur radio operator? That would be neat. I would listen to MIR as it passed over every night. Got a frequency?

Apparently it's in the deployment stage at the moment, which should take about 80 minutes. Then if the Odyssey is overhead it can transmit data via the orbiter. Could be pictures fairly early on if the mast deploys OK. The signal has to be decrypted by computer so an amateur really doesn't have a crack at it.

I just saw the press conference and the first picture from the rover Spirit may be seen about 2:30 am ET. Right now it is 1:15 am.
