MICRO & NANO SPACECRAFT

Barry Hebert, Kobie T. Boykins, and Mike Newell
Monday, October 18, 1999, 7:30 p.m.
at Griffith Observatory

Imagine a fleet of miniature spacecraft exploring the solar system 
and tiny robots exploring its worlds. See how miniature spacecraft 
are making huge strides in exploration. Barry Hebert, Kobie Boykins, 
and Mike Newell of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory will show us how 
this technology is already being put to use. This project has been 
chosen to fly on the Japanese MUSES-CN mission to an asteroid.

MNTD is an extremely aggressive & cutting-edge NASA/JPL TAP-funded 
program to develop NASA's future miniaturized spacecraft, which 
include micro-spacecraft, nano-spacecraft, and beyond. Key components 
of the program include advanced spacecraft architecture, development, 
integration, and demonstration, as well as associated advanced 
technology development. A primary goal of this program is to "build 
the most advanced deep space spacecraft ever," and to continue this 
philosophy as much as technology development and innovation will 
allow. For further information about this project, please visit the 
website at http://mntd.jpl.nasa.gov.

Admission: $2 for Friends Of The Observatory members, $5 for 
non-members; tickets available at the door. For more information call 
(818) 846-3686. Please allow adequate time for parking. Children 
under 5 are not admitted.
