When is MER-A suppose to reach Mars?

I thought it was set to land on January 5, but Space.com says differently. It could be a typo, but I just wanted to check for sure.

"Spirit is due to arrive at Mars on Jan. 24, 2004. Its twin rover spacecraft, now called Opportunity, is to be launched June 25 and arrive at the Red Planet on Jan. 25, bouncing onto the sandy surface with the help of parachutes, retro rockets and inflated balloons."
