The phrase “Right on the Money!” was shouted repeatedly by excited folks in Mission Control as MRO entered orbit today.
NASA has reacquired a signal from the spacecraft after it passed behind Mars. All indications are that it is working perfectly at this point.
The spacecraft’s batteries are at 109% of charge. “We have a lot of power on the spacecraft” a commentator noted.
