[i]MRO's attempt to image InSight on the parachute during its descent was unsuccessful. The geometry was more challenging than the Phoenix and Curiosity images, and the uncertainty in timing and the limitations on MRO's ability to rapidly pan the camera across the scene motivated the HiRISE team to use a camera setting which unfortunately saturated the detector. While disappointing, it is great to know that the parachute worked and the landing went as planned. We want to thank all the folks who worked hard on this (special thanks to Maven) and we can't wait for some great science from InSight to start coming in![/i]
