QUOTE (djellison @ Sep 6 2008, 10:46 AM)  9 minute before closest approach the OSIRIS-NAC turned off and entered safe mode. 9 minutes = 4650 km -------------------- Free software for planetary science (including Cassini Image Viewer).

If she just gives UMSF the data, we'll get it done for them!
BTW - is that an orange traffic cone on the front of the stage?! EDIT: everyone is getting a chance to speak at this press conference. They are obviously all very excited. Next up....the Janitor!

Ahhh - looks like ESA is setting up a NEO program. If they can stretch this out for about 20 minutes, it'll be timed perfectly to start watching qualifying for the Belgium Grand Prix Qualifying.

Sounds like they just set some very conservative watermarks for the NAC, it went into safemode, and then came out a few hours later.

Looks like the NAC safe mode was indeed inadvertent. Overheating? Was this the most stressful operation of NAC so far? If so, electronics heating up combined with suboptimal s/c orientation could well have caused this.

ESA's work is great now we just need decent journalists to make decent questions...
 4 questions so far...two about the antenna problem and two about the NAC problem...  -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Sounds like the NAC turn off was intentional? Or not... ? Data delay but all will get onto the ground. Glad to see another NEO program going.... more monitoring the better. About time for my morning shower .... Craig |
