The logo formation will hoverabout 36m (118ft) above the ground at the lowest point and the highest point (the tip of the logo) will be at approximately 130m (426ft) above ground.
In the final landing phase, the spacecraft will hover on its jets about 65 feet above the surface and unreel the rover on three Kevlar cables in what NASA engineers call a "sky crane, " lowering it to the ground at less than two miles per hour.
