I cant find any at KSC that were taken after the CD was fixed, but before the insulation blankets went one. Looking at the spacecraft from 'above' as it were - without the HGA - it's a little like the classic shape of a house - with the RTG being a very large chimney. The CD would be on one of the two sides that would be the 'roof' of the house - the two sides that angle toward the RTG shield.

Doug After interpreting your words, I am guessing the ubication of CDROM with the following attachment. I might be wrong and please correct me. Rodolfo |

Behind the stars-and-stripes in that image, or perhaps in the same position on the opposite side of the spacecraft.

The location of Clyde Tombaugh's ashes and the memorial text on the container are in the first article.
Pluto Mission News February 3, 2006 http://pluto.jhuapl.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy 100th Birthday, Clyde Tombaugh! When the late American astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh discovered Pluto 76 years ago this month, he opened the gateway to an unknown region of ancient, icy objects unlike any worlds in our solar system – and touched off a revolution in our understanding of Earth’s ever-expanding planetary neighborhood. February 4, 2006, marks the 100th anniversary of Tombaugh’s birth – and New Horizons is speeding toward the planet he discovered, carrying a small amount of his ashes along with the dreams of all who, like this Kansas farm boy, gazed toward the heavens in the name of exploration and discovery. Click here for the full story, or visit http://www.jhuapl.edu/newscenter/pressrele...2006/060203.asp. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clyde Tombaugh: A Daughter’s Perspective Clyde Tombaugh received many awards and plaudits for his scientific and academic achievements, but Annette Tombaugh-Sitze says Pluto’s discoverer also should have won an award for being a great father. “My dad gave me a wondrous, beautiful gift that speaks to me of him every night when I step outside my door,” Tombaugh-Sitze writes on the New Horizons Web site. “He gave me the sky.” Read the full story here, or visit http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/news_center/news/020306.htm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Horizons is the first mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt of rocky, icy objects beyond. Principal Investigator Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), leads a mission team that includes the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Ball Aerospace Corporation, the Boeing Company, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Stanford University, KinetX, Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, University of Colorado, the U.S. Department of Energy, and a number of other firms, NASA centers and university partners. For more information on the mission, visit http://pluto.jhuapl.edu. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

QUOTE (hal_9000 @ Jan 9 2006, 01:29 AM) Where Is My Name? Not on that CD, unfortunately. QUOTE (Alan Stern @ Jan 9 2006, 04:51 AM) The disk is mounted along a side wall of the s/c exterior, under the thermal blankets.
If you have seen pictures with the flags, the CD is under one of the flags. -Alan -------------------- 2011 JPL Tweetup photos: http://www.rich-parno.com/aa_jpltweetup.html
