From the linked website:


Sunday, August 5
NASA Mars Rover Landing
8:30 to 10:45 p.m. PT <--- that would be Pacific Time.
Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity Rover Landing Coverage and Commentary #1 -
Entry Decent and Landing


The landing is scheduled for SUNDAY August 5 at 10:30 PM Pacific Daylight
Time.  Since the mission team is at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, I
suspect that most announcements will be on west coast time.


Jim

Dear curisouser and courisiour


Your listing of time has been a questionif mine since the first announcement
every one keeps calling the landing for 1:30 am Sunday morning Florida time
.... Would that not make it 10:30 pm Saturday night vancouver Bc time ???
Rather than the Sunday night 10:30 pm you have just posted ... Darn that
Canadian rail road man and his invention of time zones :)
Regards




There must be a lifetime of thought in the last second if we are to live
from moment to moment.
