The spacecraft's high gain antenna failed to unfurl properly, and so we were faced with the task of capturing these amazing images of Jupiter with significantly reduced ability to transmit data back to earth (using the low gain antenna). Some of the bright software folks on our team figured out some ways to compress the images so we could get them back to earth without significantly diminishing the scientific benefits.Gregory Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13154819331768683027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540771071400993487.post-78797382551659495112012-07-07T12:52:14.641-04:002012-07-07T12:52:14.641-04:00Dawn: 1.

Just came in from mowing, and I think I must have dropped 10 pounds just by sweating.Dawn Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500960150846895633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540771071400993487.post-79963061282373208472012-07-07T10:28:45.047-04:002012-07-07T10:28:45.047-04:00Like very much what your husband is doing.

Just being able to hold that thought helps today, when temps are climbing to 105-106. D.C. is not living down its reputation as a swamp. Hope you keep cool. (The good news is that our power and at long last telephone service have been restored.)Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.com
