Nasa TV will be starting coverage in about 3 mins - but I'm watching multiple TV channels to see if any carry coverage - and will post any news thru the day as it happens

QUOTE (volcanopele @ Jan 14 2005, 05:55 PM) As far as I know, they are not the same data. Maybe you are confusing this with the fact that Huygens will be retransmitting its data several times? No... Huygens will not be re-transmitting its data several times. It sent all its data out in almost real time on two separate redundant channels. One channel was supposed to be delayed by something like 6 seconds so that a temporary comm. loss would not lose data. Cassini will send its recorded data to earth multiple times and from multiple different memory locations. |
