Stardust Status Report

December 20, 2002

During this past week, the Stardust flight team had four periods of communication with the spacecraft courtesy of the antennas of JPL's Deep Space Network. The telemetry relayed during this interval indicated the spacecraft is healthy and all subsystems were running normally. No activities are planned during the upcoming holiday.
