Explore Mars with Maestro

The Maestro Team writes "NASA has released Maestro, a public version of the primary software tool used by scientists to operate the Mars Exploration Rovers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Anyone can download Maestro for free from mars.telascience.org and use it to follow along with the rovers' progress during the mission. You can use Maestro to view pictures from Mars in 2D and 3D and create simplified rover activity plans. During the mission, updates will be released for Maestro containing the latest images from Mars."

Andrew,

My name is Jeff Norris - I led the development of Maestro. Thank you for offering your Bit Torrent link - it saved us from totally crashing under the ./ load.

What I want to know is this: can you tell me how many people have downloaded Maestro via your link? We are desperately trying to keep track of the total number of downloads and we have no way to track the traffic going through your bittorrent.

You can contact me at [e-mail]

Thanks again!

Jeff
