UARS Instrument Operations to Cease on Sep. 30, 2001
Message forwarded from Dr. Charles H. Jackman, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. ================================================================================ July 23, 2001 UARS Colleagues: We have some "Very Sad News" to report. We were informed on Friday, July 20, 2001, that a final decision to shut off UARS instrument operations on September 30, 2001, has been made at NASA Headquarters. Given the positive response that we received at our May meeting with Jack Kaye, Ghassem Assarar, and Mike Luther, we thought that UARS measurements would continue for at least part of FY02. We were encouraged to develop a minimum cost plan for operations through December 31, 2002, and this had been our principle activity up until Friday. We were totally surprized and extremely disappointed by this decision and we don't know if anything can be done to reverse this decision. No final decision has yet been made concerning the disposition of the UARS and it is still possible that a retrieval will occur. Also, there has yet been no final decision concerning the final archiving of the UARS data. It is possible that this message is not reaching everyone with interests in the UARS. Please send it on to anyone who you think might need to be informed about this decision. This is all the information that we and Mike Kurylo (UARS Program Scientist) have at this time. We will inform you if we hear any other information. Sincerely, Charles Jackman and Anne Douglass UARS Project Scientist UARS Deputy Project Scientist

BADC contact details on your WAP phone!
The BADC contact details are now available from WAP phones. WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol, and is a world wide standard developed especially to allow mobile phones to access the Internet. Normal web sites on the World Wide Web would take too long to download over a mobile phone connection, and the detailed graphics would be too small to read on a handset display, so WAP takes just the important parts and displays them as text.
