Good morning all,
I hope you had a great 3 day weekend and enjoyed “the end of summer” celebrations...I know most of the rest of the school will be back this week and we will be at “full strength”...also I am trying to transition away from so much correspondence at work so please contact me at fordgabe at netzero.com<mailto:fordgabe at netzero.com> or through the spacetalk link. Everything is going great here...the email below if from a great friend who does so much to further education for the kids...please check out his link as I’m sure you will find it beneficial.....wishing you a wonderful day, we have to remember to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, keep things in perspective, let those we care about most know, smile & have fun...gabe

Dear CAP Leaders (A),
The NASA television Education File Schedule for September 2014 is available on the NASA Website at the  following address:
http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/schedule/index.html

I am confident this educational resource will substantially enhance your capabilities to motivate your senior members  and cadets to achieve academic excellence in Aerospace Education, sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and Cyber defense and  security.  Most important, it will expand and embrace the mission of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in providing public awareness through enhanced focus on aerospace technology and Cyber Defense and Security education. The CAP takes great pride in recognizing the outstanding  achievements of our educators who distinguish themselves  as they inspire our cadets through studies in STEM  and Cyber Defense  and Security to become the honorable and productive scientists and engineers America needs  to secure and preserve the freedoms, economic growth and vitality of our nation.  Please forward this email to all CAP Region Commanders for further distribution to all CAP Wing Aerospace Education Directors, Group and Squadron Aerospace Education Officers nationwide.

We need  your expertise and leadership in actively assisting our cadets to meet the Scientific, Technological  and Cyber Defense  and Security challenges of the 21st Century. Kindly accept and pass  on to your  contemporaries my heartfelt appreciation for your outstanding  contributions to the success the CAP Aerospace Education Programs enjoy nationwide as we enable our cadets to become the future aviation leaders and productive citizens that  will sustain America's National Security and the freedoms we enjoy.  Let us continue to publicly praise and recognize orally and in writing our outstanding CAP educators and cadets IF WE DON'T DO IT - WHO WILL?
May you enjoy my best wishes for continued success,
Sincerely,
Richard A. Ortega, Lt Col, CAP
External Aerospace Education Officer
Florida CAP Wing

Memory Reformat Planned for Opportunity Mars Rover<http://www.nasa.gov/jpl/mer/memory-reformat-planned-20140829/index.html>

An increasing frequency of computer resets on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has prompted the rover team to make plans to reformat the rover's flash memory. The resets, including a dozen this month, interfere with the rover's planned science activities, even though recovery from each incident is completed within a day or two. Reformatting clears the memory while identifying bad cells and flagging them to be avoided.

Cassini Prepares For Its Biggest Remaining Burn
August 7, 2014

Artist's concept of the Cassini spacecraft during Saturn orbit insertion. Cassini mission controllers are preparing for the biggest remaining burn planned for the mission, which is slated for Aug. 9.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft will execute the largest planned maneuver of the spacecraft's remaining mission on Saturday, Aug. 9. The maneuver will target Cassini toward an Aug. 21 encounter with Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
The main engine firing will last about a minute and will provide a change in velocity of 41 feet per second (12.5 meters per second). This is the largest maneuver by Cassini in five years. No other remaining maneuver comes close, in the amount of propellant it will consume and the amount by which it will change the spacecraft's velocity. By contrast, the smallest maneuvers Cassini routinely executes are about 0.4 inches (10 millimeters) per second.
The large size of the Aug. 9 burn is needed to begin the process of "cranking down" Cassini's orbit, so that the spacecraft circles Saturn nearer to the plane of the rings and moons. Previously, with each Titan flyby, mission controllers adjusted the spacecraft's orbit to be increasingly inclined, carrying Cassini high above Saturn's Polar Regions. The upcoming maneuver starts reversing that trend, making the orbit increasingly close to the equator.
Although Cassini has occasionally performed similar large propulsive maneuvers during its decade in the Saturn system, Titan itself has proven to be the workhorse for steering Cassini around Saturn. It is not uncommon for the spacecraft to receive a gravitational assist, or boost, from Titan that rivals or exceeds the 96-minute engine burn Cassini performed in 2004 to insert itself into Saturn orbit.
The Cassini mission recently celebrated a decade studying Saturn, its rings, moons and magnetosphere.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology.
