KSC DEEP SPACE 1 VIEWING RESCHEDULED FOR SEPT. 29
A rescheduled news media viewing of NASA's Deep Space 1 spacecraft
has been set for Tuesday, Sept. 29, 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 10 a.m., Tuesday, for
transportation to the PHSF. Those needing accreditation should contact the
KSC News Center at 407/867-2468.
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.
Launch of Deep Space 1 is scheduled for Oct. 25 at 6:59 a.m. 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 health of the spacecraft permits, NASA may choose to extend the Deep
Space 1 voyage following completion of the primary mission on Sept. 18,
1999. The spacecraft could be placed 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.
Status reports and other NASA publications are available on the
World Wide Web at:
