JPL REPORT ON GALILEO FLYBY OF EARTH Scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., will participate in a Blue Room Report on the Galileo spacecraft flyby of planet Earth which took place at 3:35 p.m. EST on Dec. 8. The report will originate from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at 1 p.m. EST and will be carried live on NASA Select TV, Satcom F2R, 72 degrees West Longitude, Transponder 13, frequency 3960.0 MHz, audio 6.8 MHz. Media representatives are invited to monitor the report in the NASA Headquarters 6th floor auditorium, 400 Maryland Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. or from participating NASA field centers. The Earth flyby was successfully undertaken to provide gravitational assist to the Galileo spacecraft increasing its flight velocity on its journey to Jupiter. [Note: There was no date associated with when the report will be aired on NASA Select, but I believe it was meant for today, December 13.
