NASA SCIENCE UPDATE TO DISCUSS NEW DATA FROM JUPITER FLYBY
WASHINGTON - A NASA Science Update at 1 p.m. EDT Tuesday, May 1, will
discuss new views of the Jupiter system. The Pluto-bound New Horizons
spacecraft is returning these images as it flies past the solar

six-month encounter. The update will take place in the NASA
Headquarters auditorium at 300 E St., S.W., Washington. The update
will air live on NASA Television and be streamed at www.nasa.gov.
New Horizons is using Jupiter's gravity to boost its speed toward the
outer solar system while training its cameras and sensors on the
giant planet and its moons.
Briefing participants are:
-- Alan Stern, NASA associate administrator, Science Mission
Directorate, and New Horizons principal investigator, Headquarters,
Washington
-- Jeff Moore, New Horizons Jupiter Encounter Science Team lead, Ames
Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif.
