This was put on Mars using Geocentric mathematical models... yes?

It very likely could have been launched using a fixed earth coordinate system, and then was transformed to a solar barycentric (i.e., sun centered) for the trip, then finally transformed to a mars-centric for orbit and landing. Ain't engineering grand! Coordinate systems can be transformed at will using computers, and are, and it really does not matter what the underlying truth is.
