Wake up time for the lander was at 5:37 p.m. PDT yesterday. Earth rise occured at 2:55 p.m.and Earth set occurred at 6:15 a.m. this morning.

Nominal up links were performed at 250 bits per second to the spacecraft from the 34 meter antenna located in Canberra Australia.

The nominal 55 minute down link was not received as expected. Preliminary analysis has indicated several possible causes for the condition and team members are continuing to research the problem.

No down link is scheduled for Sol 46 due to limitations in DSN antenna availability.
