This reported time fits perfectly with the timing of next periapsis passage of TW-1's current orbit as observed by amateur radio observers.https://twitter.com/df2mz/status/1391876766294331395?s=19 …

So here comes the #SevenMinutesOfTerror With Chinese Characteristics.
Tomorrow it is.

Here's a disclaimer: even w/ signs seems aligned, there are only 2 sources that indicates landing is planned in 15 hours: * The Chinese tweet, which would have little credibility had it didn't add that photo at the Beijing Institute of Technology * This: https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=35045.msg2231954#msg2231954 …

As for official updates: NO OFFICIAL UPDATES ON TW-1 OF ANY KIND WAS GIVEN SINCE THE MARS ROVER NAMING ON APRIL 24. Yup, even the timing given can be off (the one source above noted the minutes can be "07" instead, I've also seen 23:17 given w/ orbit lowering @ 18:32 UTC).

AFAIK there wasn't even "warming up" in state media up till this minute (like "casual talking" on Mars rovers on the news), so I've no idea what to expect. Be prepared for dead silence for hours/days afterward in either worst case scenarios or even late go-around (a la Viking 1).

Anyway here's what to expect for EDL, compared with the latest landings of
@NASAPersevere and@NASAInSight. Given the usage of a "conventional" lander w/ rover on deck, the sequence is closest to the Vikings,@MarsPhoenix &@NASAInSight.https://twitter.com/Cosmic_Penguin/status/1392837622456668160 …

Ah, CNSA has finally woke up and issued a very brief statement confirming that the landing is currently planned "between early morning May 15 to May 19 BJT". This hints at the additional landing windows at periapsis May 17/19 UTC should the need arises. http://www.cnsa.gov.cn/n6758823/n6758838/c6811999/content.html …

CAST: Sits on edge of pool for three months deciding whether or not to get in.
@NASA: From the high board-“CANNONBALL!!!” -
To be fair, NASA has done this a few times already and have the best success record of landing on Mars.
