NOTE TO EDITORS:
DEEP SPACE 1 VIEWING SCHEDULED FOR SEPT. 22 AT KSC
News media have an opportunity to view and discuss with a mission
scientist NASA's Deep Space 1 spacecraft on Tuesday, Sept. 22, in KSC's
Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF).
Deep Space 1 is designed to validate a dozen new technologies for scientific
space missions of the next century. These experiments include an ion
propulsion engine that is strikingly similar to those described in
futuristic science fiction works and software that tracks celestial bodies
so that the spacecraft can make its own navigation decisions without the
intervention of ground controllers.
Media should be at the KSC Press Site by 11 a.m., Tuesday, for
transportation to the PHSF. Media will be returned to the KSC News Center in
time for the 2 p.m. Deep Space 1 Mission Science Briefing originating from
NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Media representatives needing accreditation should contact the NASA-KSC News
Center at 407/867-2468 by the close of business Monday, Sept. 21.
Prior to being taken in the PHSF, media must submit to a
routine security search of camera and utility bags. Due to clean room
requirements, media planning to attend are requested to wear long pants and
closed-toe shoes, and dress in clean room attire (bunny suits) which will be
provided. No suede, leather or vinyl attire or accessories are permitted.
Participants are asked not to wear makeup or lotions.

Quality control personnel will request photographers to clean their
equipment with alcohol wipes and place accessories in special plastic bags
which will be provided. No food, chewing gum, tobacco, lighters, matches,
or pocket knives will be permitted inside the clean room. Also, no cellular
telephones or transceiver-type radio equipment can be allowed.
Electronic flash photography is permitted. The lighting in the facility is
high-pressure sodium (orange).
Leslie Livesay, Deep Space 1 Spacecraft Manager from the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, will be available for interviews about the Deep Space 1
spacecraft and its mission. This is the only opportunity scheduled for the
media to photograph this spacecraft prior to launch.
The Deep Space 1 spacecraft is scheduled for launch at 6:59 a.m. on
Oct. 25 aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket from Complex 17, Pad A, on Cape
Canaveral Air Station. The launch period extends through Nov. 10, 1998.
If the spacecraft continues to be healthy when the primary mission
is completed on Sept. 18, 1999, NASA could choose to extend the spacecraft's
voyage. Deep Space 1 may then be on a trajectory resulting in the flyby in
January 2001 of the dormant comet Wilson-Harrington that is in the process
of changing from a comet to an asteroid. In September 2001, the spacecraft
may also fly by the active comet Borrelly.
