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.
