“鞋匠”接近着陆爱神星:
网上现场直播,有关卫星和重要事件的时间表

    NASA将奉马里兰约翰霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室(APL)的的命令,将在美国东部时间2月12日点燃火箭的发动机,将“鞋匠”号探测器送入太空,以便进行对爱神星的调查。到时候火箭将在太空中进行四个小时的飞行。

    由于亚特兰蒂斯号航天飞机的STS-98使命,NASA的电视望远镜将不能运行,当然也就不能对探测器的位置进行报道。经初步估计,探测器将在2月14号到达。

    NASA将通过Ku Band卫星、K5通讯卫星和12号异频雷达收发机在西经97度直播那些重要事件,频率为: 下行链线路11936兆赫,音频6.2和6.8。

    NASA同时也将在互联网上进行直播。那些对探测器感兴趣的人可以通过访问NASA总部或者去APL公共事务办公室来获得指示和密码。

卫星和互联网播放的时间表:(均为美国东部时间): 

2月12日,星期一:

    早上七点至八点:将由K5通讯卫星转播从NEAR 任务操作计算机(MOC)-APL来的消息;
中午:将不播放新闻,而是播放上午10:31的火箭点火仪式的录像,由NEAR Video File-APL提供录像内容; 
下午一点三十分至三点三十分:将播放由NEAR MOC.提供的降落的场面,届时将由K5通讯卫星转播,同时,也将在互联网上直播;
    下午四点至八点:K5通讯卫星到时将现场直播NEAR MOC来的消息。

2月14日,星期三:

    中午:K5通讯卫星将播放NEAR录像档案-APL(NEAR Video File - APL);
    下午一点:K5通讯卫星将转播在APL的Kossiakoff中心的NEAR发射和着陆简报,同时,也将在互联网上直播;

NEAR Decent to Eros
Chinese Version


NEAR Descent to Eros:
  Schedule of Events and Satellite, Live Web Information
NASA attempts something never before done Monday, Feb. 12, when, starting at 10:31 a.m. EST, mission controllers at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, MD, will initiate a series of engine burns over a 4-hour period designed to bring NASA's NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft down to the surface of asteroid Eros. 
Due to the STS-98 mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, NASA Television will not be available to provide coverage of NEAR's descent and the post-mission briefing, now scheduled for Feb. 14. 

  These events will be broadcast live on a separate Ku Band satellite, Telstar K5, 97 degrees West Longitude, Transponder 12, Downlink Frequency 11936 MHz Horizontal Polarity, Audio 6.2 & 6.8. 

  NASA will also provide an Internet video stream of the activities originating from APL. Members of the media who wish to follow the NEAR encounter activities on the Internet can contact either the NASA HQ or APL Public Affairs offices for access instructions and passwords. 

  General public access will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on NASA's home page at http://www.nasa.gov/ and the NEAR page at http:://near.jhuapl.edu/. 

The satellite and web feed schedule is as follows (all times EST): 

Monday, Feb. 12: 

  7 a.m. to 8 a.m. - Live shots from the NEAR Mission Operations enter (MOC) - APL broadcast on Telstar K5 
Noon - Breaking news to report results of scheduled 10:31 a.m. engine firing, followed by NEAR Video File - APL broadcast on Telstar K5 
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. - Descent Activities from NEAR MOC. Broadcast live via Telstar K5 with simultaneous Web cast 
4 p.m. to 8 p.m. - Live shots from the NEAR MOC broadcast on Telstar K5 
Wednesday, Feb. 14: 

  Noon - NEAR Video File - APL broadcast on Telstar K5 
1 p.m. - NEAR Post-Landing Press Briefing in APL's Kossiakoff Center broadcast on Telstar K5 and live Web cast 
Panelists for the post-mission briefing will be: 

  Dr. Jay Bergstralh, Acting Director, Solar System Exploration, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 
Robert Farquhar, NEAR Mission Director, APL 
Bobby Williams, Navigation, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA 
Joseph Veverka, Imaging Team Leader, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 
Thomas Coughlin, NEAR Project Manager, APL 
To receive NASA's video stream you will need the latest version of RealPlayer installed on your computer and an active Internet connection. The latest version of the software is available at: http://www.real.com/R/RC.HP0207t2.buttons2.txt..R/www.real.com/player/index.html 

  Media interested in covering the descent activities from APL should contact Helen Worth or Mike Buckley of the APL Public Affairs Office, at (240) 228-5113 or (240) 228-7536. Registration is also available through the NEAR mission Web site at http://near.jhuapl.edu/media/current_press_events.html
