Hello,

There is a rumor about a lunar occultation on DOY 317 (Nov. 13).  Would
you like data?  I don't have many details at this point, but the telecom
person suggested that the spacecraft be one-way throughout the
occultation. :-)

-Trish

>Would you like data?

  No promises on reducing.  But this would be a great test to
  make sure the DSP still functions.  Also, it would be the
  first test of the delivery system since all the H/W and S/W
  upgrades.

  As before, we have to remember that the Moon is smaller than
  the Earth.  So an occultation somewhere on Earth does not
  guarantee that our DSN station will see it.

  Thanks (again) for being alert to interesting opportunities.
