Phoenix Lands on Mars

Congratulations to the JPL, ASU and Lockheed team. It was a nail-biter, but everything worked out wonderfully!

Phoenix Launch Animation

We did a couple of shots in the JPL/SSV simulation of the Phoenix Launch. Here's a link to the YouTube video.

Front Page of NASA.gov!

Some animations that we did last week are currently featured on the front page of http://www.nasa.gov

Here are the permalinks (for when the story gets cycled off the front page): http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/main/index.html

Opportunity: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/multimedia/mro-20070312-opportunity.html

Another note: somebody else at NASA did the vari-speed over the rover, not us. We didn't want to feature the rover too prominently, after all, this is MRO's awesome data!

Slashdotted!

Well, kinda.
