The January PSG meeting is now in progress and the tour for extended mission is scheduled to be chosen on Thursday (Feb 1). There are 13 tours being considered OF4a, PF-3, PF-4, PF-6, PF-6h9, PF-7, PF-8, PF-9, PF-10, PF-11, PF-12 & PF-13 --plus 'tweaks' on these tours e.g. there is a PF-8a, PF-9a

S-S-So ... has anybody heard anything?

The winner is (drum roll please) PF6h9. Officially adopted on Thursday. I haven't sifted through all the details yet, but from my parochial point of view, I know it includes seven close Enceladus flybys, so that's good. Most of the science groups (Titan, Rings, Magnetosphere, Saturn, and Icy Satellites) were pretty happy with this choice- it packs in an amazing number of science opportunities.

It's country specific. South Africa uses "," for decimal position and "." as a thousands separator. The Irish and British definitely use "." and "," in the same way as the US. The French use a space for thousands separation and the Swiss use an apostrophe. It gets even more different if you move outside of the western hemisphere - you cannot assume that number grouping always happens in threes for example (Japan and China group numbers using a space as a "10 thousands" separator and a "." as a decimal).

Quite mad.
