No news yet - I doubt they'll send out emails for the 'test' until they have proper imagery ready to go - so end of this month, beginning of next I'd guess

QUOTE (akuo @ Jan 9 2006, 04:20 PM) Is there some sort of explanation from the Stardust team why this detection cannot be done by a computer program scanning the images? Are the marks left by interstellar dust so unpredictable that human work is needed? How does the person know what to look for then?  Because people have an image processing and pattern recognition software package that has had about 1,000,000,000 years of development work invested in it.  tty |

Well, with Stardust (finally) at home... I remember reading something that the rest of the capsule might be displayed at the Natioanl Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C.

I remember reading something that the rest of the capsule might be displayed at the Natioanl Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C. This got me thinking: What will they eventually do with the Genesis return capsule? -------------------- "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 |

TPS members will be pleased to see that you can now do the 'beta' testing phase - interface is actually very good, I'm enjoying it.

An LPSC abstract on the results from the first test of Stardust@Home's likely reliability shows promising results: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2006/pdf/2225.pdf . (There's also a description of it from the previous year's LPSC: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2005/pdf/1908.pdf .)

To be fair, the samples may be scrap, but the aeroshell is recognisable - but I don't think they'd want to display it by any stretch of the imagination. It would be like exhibiting the dent in your bumper before getting an insurance quote for your car.

Doug Doug: Actually, all the more reason to display it - the debris should be preserved in the (several) places where the errors were made which resulted in the parachute failure, along with a full presentation about the causes, the enquiries, and the lessons learned in terms of physical and management procedures! But they'll probably quietly lose it. Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
