For once the article is more interesting than the HN discussion.

Note, though, that this is only about engineering. “The science comes later.” The probe is still months from Mars on its way to Jupiter. Wait for 2030.


I wish it went into even more technical depth.

I've also been trying to find documents and movies about the Apollo missions that are more about the engineering than the people. (Nothing wrong with the latter, just feels like that's all the existing, sometimes over-dramatized films are about).


The extension mechanism for the magnetometer looks amazing. Godspeed little probe.
