As MSL enters Mars’ atmosphere, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will attempt to photograph it, along with receiving MSL’s radio signals for later rebroadcast to Earth.

Here’s an animation I made showing the predicted view of MRO’s HiRISE camera, using orbit and camera-pointing data published by NASA on their Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) website.

The background music is excerpted from Telegraphic, by Axoe.
