[DeTomaso] Landing on a comet Wednesday. Delete If not Interested

[Himes, Terry (397C)]

Pantera Brothers;

If you are not interested in space, you can delete this immediately and I apologize for the spam email.

Many of the Pantera owners who are interested in deep space, will like this adventure.   Here is a link to the press kit;

On Wednesday morning, Nov 12th, at 7:35am the Rosetta lander Philae will attempt to land on a comet traveling
at 37,500 mph.  Whoa!   If successful, it will be the first time any spacecraft has landed on a comet.  Over the next
13 months the Rosetta orbiter and Philae lander will ride the comet around the sun!   Comets get more volatile the
closer the get to the sun.  It will be a wild ride.

Attached are a Press release to explain the mission and an SOE (Sequence of Events) which you can follow along while
you are in your fuzzy slippers Wednesday morning.   Log in early to the main NASA site or http://www.jpl.nasa.gov.

ESA built the spacecraft and JPL has 3 Science Instruments on-board.  Our Sequence and Navigation team is helping
the ESA Flight Control Teams.

My role as Sequence Team Lead is to build all the Telecom commands with allow the spacecraft to communicate
with earth.  The OWLT (One Way Light Time ) is 28m 20s.   Rosetta is 317.5 million miles from home.

Enjoy

ciao

Terry
