Touchdown around 8.30 pm UK time Hope all goes well. Below is a NASA simulation of the landing. It actually deliberately accelerates to twelve thousand miles an hour before hitting the atmosphere, in order to create the necessary drag/lift ratio seven minutes before touchdown, and finally lands by deploying a sky-crane that flies away afterwards. Astounding engineering! What clever people we are. But so much can go wrong. https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/mars2020/#/home
