RE: Pathfinder update
FYI,
The Pathfinder-Plus solar-powered flying wing lifted off shortly before 8
a.m. Hawaii time today from the Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility on
what could be a record altitude flight. Takeoffwas under ideal conditions, and
everything was looking very good an hourinto the flight. The aircraft had reach
ed 36,000 feet about 2:10 p.m. our time (11:10 a.m. Hawaii
time), and everything is still going very well, with "no squawks." They
hope to reach peak altitude by about 3:45--4 p.m. Hawaii time.
There has been significant interest among the major electronic news media
in the Pathfinder-Plus lately. NASA Dryden public affairs has supported this i
nterest with information, coordination, video feeds or dubs from flight 98-2. W
e have also offered interviews with Dryden program personnel (Jenny Baer-Riedha
rt), although none of the news organizations has yet done an interview with a D
ryden representative.
Here's a rundown on the stories that we know about at this time:
--CBS Evening News with Dan Rather: aired feature last evening, significant
mention of NASA (not Dryden), interviewed Steve Wegener of Ames and Dick
Swanson of SunPower, builder of Pathfinder-Plus' solar cells. Included
Dryden-supplied video. (We have VHS dub in work, if you missed it.) We
understand a follow-up story is planned for this evening's broadcast
(KCBS-TV, Ch. 2, 5:30 p.m.).
--ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings: Plan to air feature story
tonight, includes interviews with Ray Morgan of AeroVironment and Dick
Swanson, possible others, includes mention of Dryden and Dryden-supplied
video. This will be on KABC-TV, Ch. 7, Los Angeles, at 6:30 p.m.
--NBC News with Tom Brokaw, plans to air piece on this evening's broadcast.
Will include Dryden-supplied video, not sure of other content. (KNBC-TV,
Ch. 4, Los Angeles, 6:30 p.m.)
--CNN: John McManus has interviewed individuals from AeroVironment and
SunPower, and has Dryden-suppplied video. Air date not yet known.
--ABC Radio Networks (pickup from ABC-TV, no direct contact yet)
--ABC News.com website--planning tie-in story to ABC-TV feature to go up on
website tonight or tomorrow (Michael Martinez, technology writer).
