Hey guys. Quick comment on the Mission Descriptions:

Unfortunately, the Flyby Geometry and Playback Timelines are provided by the Mission Planning team who have been incredibly busy with the Extended Mission Tour evaluations (in fact we all have).

And sorry for the delays. We try to post them a week before but when things get crazy, Mission Descriptions (for better or worse) are sometimes a lower priority item for us and might be delayed a day or two.

Believe me when I say, I wish we had a person dedicated to these "public outreach" efforts. That would be awesome but unfortunately we all have a lot on our plates with Operations.

If any of you guys want to write them for us... we are taking applications now. ;^)

As everyone shares their thoughts on the images of Titan, it might be interesting to note that we almost lost the T13 data. We took at Cosmic Ray hit on the SSPS to the USO causing a loss of the downlink signal from the spacecraft. The SAR data was scheduled to be overwritten during the following observation block and my team had to scramble to zero-out data policing and reset the pointers on the SSRs to recover the data. I am glad we were successful as T13 has been described by Jonathan Lunine and others as the "key to understanding Titan".

Glad you guys are enjoying the RADAR SAR swath from T13. smile.gif
