Cassini CHAT online on IRC (freenode)
The Cassini Chat has been activated and is now available without password to the public. Anyone interested in the discussion should log-in to the irc.freenode.net servers and point your chat-client to the #cassini room. There you will find some of the people involved with the project, many very knowledgable people involved in other space projects, as well as those interested in these endeavours ...(like you).
We also moderate the Mars Rover chat as well which is located in the #maestro room. Maestro is the free 'public-outreach' software based on the actual program that JPL uses to plan/manage the Rover systems and operation. It is available at no charge at: http://mars.telascience.org/home/. There are numerous 'updates' avalable as well and since the project has been approved for further operations, so has the Maestro program.
Join us! See you there... Cassini is ready for the fly-by of "Phoebe", one of Saturns smaller (and very unusual) moons on Jun 11th! --! Please remember that this is a 'Professional' and 'family-oriented' room so no abusive language, seriously off-topic discussion, or other disruptive conduct.
