INFO 05-1997: Cassini-Huygens your messages en route for Titan
11 February 1997
The "Messages on Titan" operation is proceeding successfully. Thousands upon thousands of signatures and messages from all over the world have been collected at the Internet site set up by ESA for this purpose.This unprecedented operation will soon be coming to an end. The Internet site will not be accepting messages after 1 March 1997, although it will remain active to incorporate regularly updated information on the Cassini-Huygens mission at least until the launch in October 1997.
We shall be concluding this exceptional operation by producing a CD-ROM containing written and audio messages within the limits of the space available. We therefore propose that all media announce the forthcoming end of the operation and stress the additional possibility of sending in audio as well as written messages that will leave for Titan in October 1997. Radio or television stations wishing to offer listeners or viewers the opportunity to transmit their messages over the air can forward them to us on audio or video (Betacam) cassettes. N.B. No more than three twenty-second messages per station.
