Terry,

It took a Pantera driver to park that lander 91 million miles away.

You guys rock Terry!

Ok!  Just got our first image back, shot thru the dust cover. The cover hasn’t been ejected yet, until the dust settles and we can deploy our solar arrays, and start getting power. 

The spacecraft is going thru checkout now.  It will take a few hours to finish and deploy the solar arrays. They can generate 700 watts on a clear day.
