  urlLink Tomorrow night at 8:14 pm EST , twin rovers named Spirit and Opportunity will jettison from the spacecraft they've been traveling in. The first twin, Spirit, will hurtle toward the surface of Mars, landing at 8:35, give or take a few minutes.
It should bounce around on airbags for about ten minutes, then deploy antennas and--here's the big hope--notify NASA JPL of its safe arrival just in time for the prime time news here in on Earth! Opportunity will have its own landing in a few weeks on January 24. Double the chances for good landing sites, and double the news coverage! NASA Select will begin coverage around 6:30 tomorrow evening, the channel is carried these days by Dish, but you can also urlLink watch it here .
Landing on Mars has urlLink proven pretty tricky lately , so the project will still be an overwhelming success if the landers perk up at any point, much less right away. In related Mars news, NASA recently put out urlLink this neat picture taken by Mars Global Surveyor's Oribiter Camera this week.
