FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 24, 1998
ASTEROID FINDER NAMED TO WOMEN IN TECHNOLOGY HALL OF FAME
Asteroid finder and astronomer Eleanor F. Helin of NASA's
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, has been named to the
Women in Science and Technology International (WITI) Hall of
Fame, an award that honors women in science and technology
worldwide.
Helin will be honored at ceremonies to be held Thursday,
June 25, at 7 p.m., during the WITI 1998 Technology Summit in
Santa Clara, CA. The largest-ever conference of top women in
technology, the WITI 1998 Technology Summit will draw more than
3,500 technologists and scientists from around the world. WITI
Hall of Fame was launched in 1996 to recognize, honor, and
promote the outstanding contributions women make to the
scientific and technological communities and society at large.
Inductees are chosen by an independent panel of judges.
Donna Shirley, manager of JPL's Mars Exploration Program,
was inducted into the WITI Hall of Fame last year, and is a
featured speaker at Thursday's ceremonies.
Helin has been active in planetary science and astronomy for
more than three decades at the California Institute of Technology
and JPL, a division of Caltech managed for NASA. She is the
principal investigator for the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking
(NEAT) program, a collaborative effort of NASA, JPL and the U.S.
Air Force which has already detected more than 26,000 objects
including 30 near-Earth asteroids.
In the early 1970s, Helin initiated the Palomar Planet-
Crossing Asteroid Survey from Caltech's Palomar Observatory in
Southern California, resulting in the discovery of thousands of
asteroids of all types including 100 near-Earth asteroids and 20
comets. One of the most significant discoveries was that of
asteroid 2026 Aten, the first asteroid found to have an orbit
smaller than the Earth. Another of her asteroid discoveries, KD
1992, was recently named the new target for a flyby by to be
conducted in July 1999 by the NASA/JPL Deep Space 1 spacecraft,
due for launch this November.
Helin is a recipient of NASA's Exceptional Service Medal and
the 1997 JPL Award for Excellence for her leadership of the NEAT
program. The International Astronomical Union named asteroid
3267 Helin in her honor. Helin and her husband reside in
Thousand Oaks, CA.

NOTE TO EDITORS: N98-43
SCIENTISTS TO DISCUSS LATEST FINDINGS FROM
PATHFINDER MISSION ONE YEAR AFTER MARS LANDING
Scientists involved with NASA's Mars Pathfinder will present
their latest interpretations of results from the mission almost a year
after the spacecraft?s July 4, 1997, landing during a NASA Television
live briefing at 1 p.m. EDT on Monday, June 29. The briefing will
originate from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena,
CA.
New scientific findings paint two strikingly different pictures
of the role of water on the red planet and yield surprising
conclusions about the composition of rocks at the landing site. The
briefing will include an updated 360-degree, "fish-eye lens" view of
the landing site featuring a representation of the full path of the
Sojourner rover, in both still and video formats.
Briefing participants will be:
o Dr. Matthew Golombek, Mars Pathfinder project scientist, JPL
o Dr. Joy Crisp, investigation scientist on Pathfinder's alpha proton
X-ray spectrometer team, JPL
o Stephen Metzger, graduate student at the University of Nevada, Reno
o Dr. Diana Blaney, planetary scientist, JPL
o Dr. Richard Zurek, JPL project scientist on the upcoming Mars
Surveyor 1998 missions
NASA TV is carried on satellite GE-2, transponder 9C, 85 degrees
West longitude, vertical polarization, frequency 3880 MHz, audio 6.8
MHz. A two-way question-and answer session for journalists at
participating NASA centers will follow the discussion.

Mars Global Surveyor
Project Status Report Overview
Friday, 26 June 1998
The Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft continues in good health as it completes
its 388th orbit of Mars in an 11.6 hour period elliptical orbit. In this
Science Phasing Orbit period, science observations are made during every
orbit. At the last turn-on of the Thermal Emission Spectrometer instrument
earlier this week, the primary neon reference lamp for the spectrometer did
not come on, so the instrument is using only the bolometer (temperature
measurement) mode. The backup lamp is being saved for use in important
science observations later in the summer and for mapping next year.
The project team is preparing for the operational readiness tests late in
July and early August. These tests will demonstrate the team's capabilities
to perform aerobraking as the MGS orbital period gets shorter and shorter
when aerobraking starts again on September 14th. The current orbital period
will be reduced to slightly under 2 hours during the coming fall and early
winter. At the same time the MGS orbit period is growing shorter, and
aerobraking management intensity will be growing, the Mars Surveyor
Operations project team will be taking on the responsibility of managing the
flight operations of the Mars Climate Orbiter which launches on December
10th, and the Mars Polar Lander which launches on January 3rd.

PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE
The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News
Number 379 June 25, 1998 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein
NEAREST EXTRA-SOLAR PLANET. The existence of a planet
around the star Gliese 876, only 15 light years distant from Earth,
was announced this week by planeteer Geoffrey Marcy of San
Francisco State University at a meeting in Victoria, British
Columbia. The star, whose presence is inferred not from direct
observation but by the wobble it imparts to the star, has a mass
about 1.6 that of Jupiter. Gliese itself only has a mass of about one
third that of our sun, making it the lightest known star to have a
planet. The planet circles the star every 61 days at a radius of one
-fifth the Earth-Sun distance. The discovery was soon confirmed by
other astronomers. (Science News, 27 June 1998.) Still other
extra-solar planets (perhaps a half dozen) will be presented by
several observing teams at a meeting a week from now in Santa
Barbara. (Science NOW, 24 June 1998.)
LIFE EXTINCTIONS BY COSMIC RAY JETS. Several reasons
have been put forward to explain past periods of mass extinction on
the Earth. An asteroid, for example, is thought to have killed off
the dinosaurs in the Cretaceous/Tertiary era 60 million years ago.
A new theory by physicists at the Technion in Israel suggests that
jets of cosmic rays coming from the collapse of neutron stars or the
merger of two such stars could initiate a lethal batch of muons in
our atmosphere. They argue that the ensuing ionizing radiation
might have affected the biosphere in two ways---by killing many
species outright and by causing the sort of mutations that might
result in the abrupt appearance of many new species in the
aftermath of the of the jet event. Furthermore, the coming of the
cosmic rays might be heralded a few days before by the arrival of
a gamma ray burst (GRB), presumably from the same energetic
source. The mechanism behind GRBs is itself now the subject of
intense astronomical scrutiny. Arnon Dar et al., Physical Review
Letters, 29 June; Arnon Dar, arnon@physics.

THE MOON WAS THE FIRST OBJECT OF PURE SCIENCE,
according to Martin Gutzwiller of IBM (gutzwil@watson.ibm.com).
The Babylonians (c1000 BC) recorded
the comings and goings of the Moon arithmetically without
understanding the geometry. The Greeks (c200 BC) went further;
they viewed the solar system as sitting in an immense vacuum
surrounded by the fixed stars. But even the clever Greeks knew
nothing about the underlying physics of the solar system. This fell
to Newton (1687) in the "Principia," and the 18th century
mathematician/physicists such as Laplace. These thinkers proposed
the principle of universal gravitation and tried to check it out on the
complicated Moon-Earth-Sun system. The study of this oldest of
three-body problems is the true subject of Gutzwiller's article in the
April 1998 issue of Review of Modern Physics. In many physics
problems, the dynamics of two interacting bodies (a planet and a
star or two electrical charges, say) is easy. Add a third body and
things get complicated, indeed chaotic, which is why Newton and
his 18-century followers were largely stumped in their efforts to nail
down the Earth-Sun-Moon dynamics. Gutzwiller compares the
study of this problem with the history of particle physics: the
amassing of cross sections, branching ratios and other particle
properties (the kinds of things published in tables) corresponds to
the "Babylonian phase," while the advent of the standard model
represents the "Greek phase." The third, or Newtonian, age, in
which the masses of the quarks and fundamental parameters such as
the fine structure constant will be explained, has not yet arrived.
(For a study of the 3-body problem with ions, see Update 372)
