The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter successfully lifted off today from its pad at Kennedy Space Center.
All systems are nominal. The first stage has successfully separated and the vehicle's payload shroud has been jettisoned. The vehicle is currently experiencing Centaur upper stage burn which will place it in an appropriate trajectory.
The exact time of lift-off was 7:43:0273 a.m.
More updates as events may warrant.

Congratulations on a successful start to a promising mission.
