STARDUST Status Report

March 24, 2000

There were two Deep Space Network (DSN) passes during the past week. All subsystems onboard the spacecraft are performing normally. Recorded engineering and Navigation Camera images were played backed, and flight sequence SC016 was transmitted to the spacecraft.

The NASA / JPL Solar System Educators Program (SSEP), being supported by the STARDUST Outreach team, commenced at JPL and will extend into next week. Also, STARDUST supported a student outreach internship program, explaining how to describe STARDUST to education institutions and the general public.
