Exciting line
up: Mars Express will lower Beagle 2 lander onto the Martian surface
at Isidis Planitia in the early hours of X-Mas day (Dec 25th) ... then
Stardust will collect its first samples from Comet Wild 2 on January
3rd ... NASA's first rover MER-A (Spirit) will bounce onto Gusev
crater on January 4th... MER-B (Opportunity) descend onto Meridiani
Planum in late January 2004... Cassini-Huygens inserted into Saturn
orbit in July 2004... and so on. Quite a line up


Lets hope the success rate improves....
