Doppler Shift Associated with Orbit Insertion (11-Sep-97)
(Updating Stopped 11-Sep-97) - This is the primary indication that the orbit insertion is proceeding nominally. When the velocity of the spacecraft decreases during orbit insertion there is a Doppler shift in the carrier signal. This display will begin updating at 6:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time. The plot should automatically refresh once every 90 seconds. If it fails to refresh, hit the reload button.

Still Updating - Now, you can be an armchair flight controller for Surveyor! Follow this link to find out realtime information about all of the spacecraft's systems.

Orbit Insertion Data - 10 Second Refresh
(Updating Stopped 11-Sep-97) - This is the primary display tracking the progress of Global Surveyor that is currently being shown on NASA TV. If your screen fails to refresh automatically, hit the reload button.

Orbit Insertion Data - 20 Second Refresh

View of Mars from the Spacecraft (11-Sep-97)
(Updating Stopped 12-Sep-97) - Computer generated view of Mars as seen by MGS begins updating at 7:30 AM Pacific Daylight Time. Updates occur once every 5 minutes. If your screen fails to refresh automatically, hit the reload button. (Note: The time in white lettering on the image is the actual UTC spacecraft time as opposed to Earth receive time. Earth receive time is 15 minutes behind actual spacecraft time because it takes light and radio waves this long to reach of from Mars.)

Orientation of the Spacecraft (11-Sep-97)
(Updating Stopped 11-Sep-97) - The orientation display of MGS begins updating at 6:15 PM Pacific Daylight Time. Updates occur once every 6 seconds and your screen should automatically refresh once every 20 seconds. If your screen fails to refresh automatically, hit the reload button. (Note: The time in white lettering on the image is the actual UTC spacecraft time as opposed to Earth receive time. Earth receive time is 15 minutes behind actual spacecraft time because it takes light and radio waves this long to reach of from Mars.)
