Where? \u00a0See the following from Wired.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The first place to check out will be here, at Wired Science, where we will be providing two live feeds from JPL, the rover\u2019s headquarters, via NASA TV. The\u00a0first feed<\/a>\u00a0will feature commentary from scientists and engineers who work on Curiosity and will play Aug. 5 from 8:30 to 11 p.m. Pacific (11:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Eastern) and then again from 12:30 to 1:30 a.m. Pacific (3:30 to 4:30 Eastern) on Aug. 6. For those looking for to get the nitty-gritty behind-the-scenes details, the\u00a0second feed<\/a>\u00a0will carry only audio from mission controllers regarding Curiosity\u2019s progress and will begin on Aug. 5 at 8:30 p.m. Pacific (11:30 Eastern). If all goes well, NASA has stated that they might be able to share the first image from the ground during these feeds, likely a shot of the rover\u2019s wheel indicating that everything\u2019s in working order.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We will also host another\u00a0great feed<\/a>\u00a0created by Universe Today, the SETI Institute, and CosmoQuest. On their Google+ page, the team will have commentary by astronomers\u00a0Pamela Gay<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Phil Plait<\/a>\u00a0and feature live coverage from JPL and the Planetary Society\u2019s\u00a0PlanetFest<\/a>\u00a0with reporters Scott Lewis and Amy Shira Teitel. Those interested can find more information and\u00a0sign up to \u201cattend\u201d<\/a>\u00a0the Hangout on Air. The show will begin at 8 p.m. Pacific (11 p.m. Eastern) and go four hours, covering the entire landing sequence and aftermath.<\/p>\n

One more feed will be from the\u00a0Exploratorium in San Francisco<\/a>. This webcast will start at 10:15 p.m. Pacific (1:15 a.m. Eastern) on Aug. 5, just when the rover is expected to be touching its wheels down on Mars. The museum\u2019s staff and visiting scientists will be on hand to talk all about the exciting mission and provide updates as they come in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
