Out of curiosity...which computers have "glitched" for targeting/
sighting all the deep space objects for the orbiting telescopes on the
current shuttle mission?
ABC news tonight had a little "NASA Snafu" story about how the
backup system had overheated so the guys on board were trying to
"joystick" the various scopes onto the targets.
The primary "screwed the pooch" on Sunday, and now the backup has
"eff'd up".
Great.
Is this our stuff? (I hope not).
Why? See Astronomy note # 933.

As usual, the press and media are only too happy to report each glitch and completely ignore the solution which follows. Yeh, a bunch of stuff stopped working but once again when an alternate method of operation was found, it didn't get reported. George | |||||

Did NASA actually do the contracting etc for Astro-1? If not, they are getting a raw deal anyway. Burns | |||||

Note 611 has the complete story on the astro mission, including the
failures of the last couple of days. There are a total of 217 replys
under that topic, the last 20 or so describe the events of the mission
so far.
