http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Science/.../20054671.html

Space enthusiasts will be able to watch what NASA calls "seven minutes of terror" on Sunday when the space agency broadcasts live the Mars landing of its rover Curiosity.

The landing is expected to take about four and a half hours: The broadcast starts at 11:30 p.m. ET Sunday and runs until 4 a.m. ET Monday. The exact touch-down time is scheduled for 1:31 a.m.

If the mission is successful, viewers will be able to see Mission Control receive its first signal from the rover on Mars.

The broadcast will be streamed on NASA TV, on the agency's website, nasa.gov.
