This is in regards to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO)

It's in undergoing the critical orbital insertion burn. To make matters more tense, it's just slipped around the back side of the planet, so we won't know for sure if it has completed the burn properly until it shows up on the other side.
