Anyone know if there will be live coverage on the NASA channel or
elsewhere of this event?

Yes, NASA TV will begin live coverage on Sunday at 22:30 UTC.

Coverage elsewhere? You bet! I'll personally be monitoring ALL of the
web-sites listed below during the weekend:

The actual blog being written by the Phoenix team during the landing.

A Twitter page for regular - brief! - updates from JPL's publicity team...

http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/i...p?showforum=14
Arguably the best UMSF-related web forum out there, frequented by all the
major movers and shakers of planetary missions.

Watch the hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until landing, ticking away in
excruciating real-time...

http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv
This is the ONE site you absolutely MUST be watching during the hours leading
up to, and after, landing.

Emily Lakdawalla's always-excellent blog, which will have special Phoenix content
during Sunday evening / Monday morning

Emily will be streaming live video from JPL during the EDL phase.

The official Phoenix mission website

http://www.marslive.co.uk/
A special web-site where a team of British astronomers and spaceflight enthusiasts
- including SKY AT NIGHT co-presenter Chris Lintott and UMSF's Doug Ellison -
located in Patrick Moore's study in Selsey, will be following the landing as it
happens, with YouTube videos, blog entries, and comments.
