Re: NASA'S ONLINE FROM JUPITER PROJECT

Yes, and one of the LM_NET subscribers, namely me, is also a Galileo engineer.
Some of you have received "greetings" from me in the last few months.  I am not
participating in this project, because my area is so specialized and hidden,
that I cannot think of how to discuss it publicly (telemetry processing).  But,
this is a very exciting time for us.  One of the subjects under discussion on
this project is called the "probe squash".  You'll have to tune in to hear
about it!

I hope you like this stuff.  The Cassini project is readying a home page meant
for K-12 and will be "out" soon.  It will have a C-U-See-ME interface to view
the construction of the spacecraft right here in my building.  When the page is
ready, I'll let you know about it, too.  Cassini is a Saturn orbiter with a
Titan probe, launching in October 1997.

Here is part of the original post to jog your memory:


NASA is pleased to announce another exciting opportunity for K-12
classrooms to interact with our scientists, engineers and support staff.

This time, the men and women of the Galileo project will provide a
behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to be part of the
flight team on a pioneering interplanetary expedition through
the ONLINE FROM JUPITER project.

Galileo scientists and mission engineers are opening
their notebooks to classrooms, museums and the public via the
Internet to share their observations and experiences working on
the NASA spacecraft mission to Jupiter.
