What is "I type" asteroid???
QUOTE Good morning!
The first image data is in now and the team is analysing it as I type. So far it looks very promising, and we expect to publish some amazing images at 13:00 hrs. The download of the OSIRIS imaging system data started at 02:00 CEST, and is still ongoing. The VIRTIS (infrared spectrometer) data download began an hour ago, and will be completed in about two hours. We’ve heard that the team in Italy at INAF, Rome, is on stand-by, and are eager to get their hands on the data. We’ve also just been told that the housekeeping data for VIRTIS looks nominal. --Amruta -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
