Perhaps now would be a good time to start a new thread on the Extended-Extended Mission.

When I read about this last year
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/opag/march_08_meet...ons/spilker.pdf I read that the prime mission had managed to get radar coverage of 22% of Titan's surface and that the XM would get an additional 8% -- for a total of 30% across 6 years. There was no mention of how much the 7-year XXM might get, but it would be nice to know. Is it reasonable to hope for an additional 20% coverage (for 50% total)? --Greg |
