    "Top" means something like "mark" or "zero" in this case.

  • Does anyone know what "Dog" means?

  • @GrayColonel NASA -never a straight answer

  • Thanks for the info, I've seen some cool infrared shots on the Herschel portal, but I didn't know that the HIFI was recovered, that's indeed some good news.

  • This is one of the most stupid things I've ever read..

  • Well, it seems that they managed to recover HIFI, and both SPIRE and PACS are doing great!!!

  • entièrement d'accord.

  • Sorry, I meant "shut down" and not "shot down", there....this should tell you how great my deception is...allez les gars chez CEA, mais c'est quoi ça on a attendu tout l'été pour entendre que HIFI ne marche pas?

  • Our future, huh? One of the main instruments onboard HIFI is signaling already a problem, it had to be shot down. I hope they will find a solution at CEA and I also hope that the other two instruments PACS an SPIRE will work fine, otherwise it's going to be the Beagle mission times 1000 in price for nothing. I was expecting Herschel and Planck to be the most important event for the year of astronomy 2009, as now the whole thing starts to become a suspense. My deception is great.

  • the reason why France contributes more than the others European country is military first of all but also of its long aicraft history which is a traditional sector has the France
