Cassini Takes its First Colour Pictures of Jupiter. |
   | October 10, 2000 High Winds Threaten the Shuttle Again Cassini Takes its First Colour Pictures of Jupiter First ISS Crew Holds Press Conference HIGH WINDS THREATEN THE SHUTTLE AGAIN A second day of high winds at Cape Canaveral are threatening to keep the Space Shuttle Discovery on the launchpad for another day. Yesterday, gusts of more than 80 kph prevented technicians from moving a vent hood in position over top of the external fuel tank - the hood removes venting oxygen from the top of the tank, and is critical to the fueling process. If the winds die down, Discovery will launch tonight at 11:40pm GMT; otherwise, it will take off Wednesday.

The images, which were captured by the probe on October 4, when it was 80 million kilometres away, are very similar those taken by the Voyager probes more than 21 years ago.
