field collected by the miniature boom-mounted magnetometers on each. Initial contact with ST5
was made at 9:27 a.m. EST,as the spacecraft passed over the McMurdo Ground Station in Antarctica.
Art Azarbarzin, ST5 project manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.,
described next week’s planned activities for the spacecraft. “During the first day, we ensure the
three craft are correctly operating. During the next few days, we deploy and test the magnetometer
booms. Finally, we prepare them for the science demonstration and make any necessary orientation
adjustments,” Azarbarzin said. click here and read about his achievement from the BBC website.
