Latest on ESA's MARSIS experiment?

Anyone know the status of MARSIS? Are they ever going to deploy the booms?<br /><br />

Acording to an acquaintance of mine involved with Mars Express the timeframe they're looking at right now is late this year or early next year.

This is what I found:<br /><br />"Studies on the safe deployment of the radar antenna for the MARSIS experiment are continuing, and expected to be finished and lead to clear conclusions in the last quarter of 2004." <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Thanks.<br /><br />While I like ME's pretty pictures, I'd rather see what's below the surface. I hope they figure it out...
