I don't know how many of you work in software. I do, and I can imagine that for whatever reason, they're not set up to automatically pass pictures to the public. On approach, everyone is busy, so pretty pictures for the public get a lower priority than getting Dawn into orbit. It would eat up Dev time, so it doesn't get done unless someone has the motivation and some free cycles.
I'm told that public outreach is a thankless job on space missions. Maybe we should cut them a little slack. --Greg |

I'm told that public outreach is a thankless job... It is sometimes a 'thankless job' but also a rewarding one. I believe though that the key to 'public outreach' is being responsive to 'public' interest and requests. In this instance though it is a decision from the mission manager(s) that is blocking the release of images and not from any decision by the Outreach team. |
