Dear All
With Mars Express now in Mars orbit to provide a "tracking aid" we managed
to find a signal from Mars Odyssey using our 3m dish system on Sunday. The
signal is approx 10dB weaker than MEX and much more difficult to
find. With our relatively crude elevation and azimuth readouts we needed
the signal from MEX to get the dish pointed exactly.
The signal is audible by ear (just!), but very clear on a waterfall display.
