RELEASE:  92-147

NASA-DEVELOPED "TELEPRESENCE" KEY TO ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION

	NASA scientists will use "telepresence" technology in the
Antarctic this fall to see if life that existed millions of years ago
on Earth can provide clues about organisms that once may have lived on
Mars.

	A 5-member research team will travel to Antarctica in October to study
sediment on the bottom of ice-covered Lake Hoare on Ross Island.  They will
examine the physical and biological nature of the lake, including its
temperature, chemical composition and the gas content of the water. The key
research tool will be a mini-submarine mounting a camera that researchers
will control with a video headset.

	"Antarctica is the most Mars-like environment on Earth," said Dr. Carol
Stoker, a scientist and expedition member from NASA's Ames Research
Center, Mountain View, Calif.  "We're taking this technology to a hostile
environment to conduct research that has direct applications to NASA's goal
of exploring Mars."

	The team also plans to continue studies of ice-covered lakes started
earlier this year during a joint NASA-Russian expedition in the Bunger Hills
Oasis of Eastern Antarctica.  That study was part of Ames' research into
microbes living in extreme environments.

	The telepresence technology relies on a video headset that lets
researchers use head movements to point the camera on the underwater
vehicle.  Team members will steer the vehicle by remote control with
joysticks or body motion.

	"There are lots of work going on in the Silicon Valley using
telepresence in various engineering applications," Stoker said. "But we are
the only ones using this technology for field science."

	The 2-month expedition is a joint NASA-National Science Foundation
project.  Team leader is Dr. Robert Wharton, a scientist from the Desert
Research Institute at the University of Nevada.  Other team members are Dr.
Scott Tyler of the Desert Research Institute and Ames researchers Stoker,
Dale Andersen and Don Barch.

	The Telepresence-Controlled Remotely Operated Vehicle was built by
Deep Ocean Engineering Inc., San Leandro, Calif.

                      MAGELLAN STATUS REPORT
                        September 14, 1992

1.   Magellan completed the latest radar mapping operations 
     over the weekend bringing total Venus mapped area to 99 
     percent of the planet.  The radar has been put in standby 
     mode to prepare for gravity operations.  

2.   Early Monday morning, 14 September, final spacecraft 
     configeration changes were made for the orbit trim 
     maneuver (OTM) to be performed between 12:54 and 01:48 pm 
     PDT.  The OTM is targeted to lower the orbit periapsis 
     altitude from 258 to 182 kilometers.  This will enhance 
     gravity data collection for the beginning of Cycle-4 on 
     15 September 1992.

1.   Magellan successfully performed a major Orbit Trim
     Maneuver (OTM) yesterday.  A 54 minute thruster burn
     lowered Magellan's periapsis from 258 kilometers to 184.7
     kilometers.  The telemetered data indicates the burn was
     accurate to about one percent, but the final altitude
     corresponds to a 3% underburn.  Results are well within
     expected error limits.

2.   Gravity science data collection is currently underway,
     marking the beginning of the predominant activity of
     Cycle 4.

The new flight software load, version 6E, was loaded today.  The
GO/NO-GO SEPET was performed.  Due to a lightning clear of the
launch pad that occurred during mid-day, time was not available for
the PDS (Payload Data Subsystem) on-stand functional test.  It will
be slipped to tomorrow.

The particle, obtained in Tuesday's sample and identified in
yesterday's report as being red RTV, has been actually shown to be
mostly aluminum and silicon.

The payload bench check out equipment operators will arrive for the
payload GO/NO-GO test that is now scheduled for Friday.

MISSION CONTROL STATUS REPORT #7
6 a.m. Central Daylight Time
8 p.m. Tokyo
Monday, September 14, 1992
 
 
The first reflight of Space Shuttle Endeavour sailed into its third day
with no systems problems being tracked by flight controllers in Mission
Control.

A healthy spacecraft allows the STS-47 crew members to devote full
attention to the experiments ongoing on the middeck of the orbiter and
in the Spacelab module.

Mission Specialist Jay Apt took time out early this morning to send the
first video tape of a daytime pass over Japan.  Tokyo was clearly
visible in the camcorder downlink.

The Red Team, made up of Hoot Gibson, Curt Brown, Mark Lee and Mamoru
Mohri, woke up about five this morning to begin its third day in
space.  The Blue Team is set to begin its next sleep period at 9 a.m.

Circling the Earth each 90 minutes, Endeavour remains in a near-
circular 165 by 163 nautical mile orbit in an attitude that minimizes
the number of thruster jet firings so as not to disturb sensitive
experiments in the Spacelab module.

MISSION CONTROL STATUS REPORT
STS-47 Status Report #8

Monday, September 14, 1992, 3:30 P.M. CDT

The Space Shuttle Endeavour's second mission is proceeding almost
flawlessly with no systems problems being tracked by flight controllers
in Mission Control.

The Red Team, made up of Hoot Gibson, Curt Brown, Mark Lee and Mamoru
Mohri, is making good progress on tasks scheduled for their third
working day in space.  Red Team members will hand over Spacelab and
Orbiter operations to the Blue Team about 6:30 p.m. CDT today.

The Blue Team, Jay Apt, Jan Davis and Mae Jemison wakes up about 5 p.m.
CDT.

Flight controllers today accumulated enough surplus power and breathing
air to add one extra day to the STS-47 mission should the science team
request additional time on- orbit for experiments.  However, flight
managers will not make a final decision on a possible mission extension
until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Circling the Earth each 90 minutes, Endeavour remains in a
near-circular 165 by 163 nautical mile orbit in an attitude that
minimizes the number of thruster jet firings so as not to disturb
sensitive experiments in the Spacelab module.

                            GALILEO STATUS REPORT
                             September 14, 1992

     The Galileo Spacecraft is operating normally in the dual-spin mode and
is transmitting coded telemetry at 40 bps.

     Over the weekend, no spacecraft activity was scheduled.  Tracking was
performed over DSS-43 (Canberra 70 meter antenna), DSS-63 (Madrid 70 meter
antenna) and DSS-14 (Goldstone 70 meter antenna).

     Today, September 14, 1992, the real-time commands were scheduled to
change a system fault protection parameter and to update a acquisition
sensor parameter.  Tracking is scheduled over DSS-43 and DSS-63.

     Tomorrow, no spacecraft activity or tracking is scheduled.
