Will the TRACE spacecraft be doing dedicated science observations of the Mercury Transit on November 9, 2006?
And will the probe still be around in 2012 to do dedicated observations of the next Venus Transit? -------------------- I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed.

Well, I think they've observed every transit that's occured since the probe has been operational, so I would assume they would. 2012.... maybe if it's still working. |
