NRO Gives NASA Two Hubble-Class Telescopes http://t.co/EFMmXZas #astronomy
2012-06-05 00:20:52#NASA will hold a media telecon at 2 pm EDT with TBD personnel to discuss the NRO telescope gift to NASA - live tweeting here @NASAWatch
2012-06-05 02:10:30#NASA will hold a media telecon @ 2 pm EDT w/ TBD personnel to discuss NRO telescope gift to NASA - live tweeting @NASAWatch #JWST
2012-06-05 02:32:26NRO informaed NASA a year ago that they had residual hardware suitable for hardware - completely declassified for NASA use. #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:03:33Paul Hertz: NRO provided 2 sets of space qualified telescopes hardware - primary and secondary mirrors #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:04:36NASA thinks that 3 major areas of WFIRTS mission could be met w this NRO telescope hardware. HW is stored in manufacturers factory #NRO_NASA
2012-06-05 03:05:27#NASA does not have funding in current budget to use these new NRO space telescopes #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:05:52Hertz: this is a very exciting acquisition for NASA Astrophysics Division #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:06:24Hertz; NRO donated teescopes woudl nto be used as part of #JWST mission #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:07:45Hertz: these are wide angle telescopes - could be used to discover sources that could be followed up by #JWST
2012-06-05 03:08:23Moore: need to have a ground system that can communicate with NRO-donated telescopes - a lot of investment required #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:10:34Moore: optical systems tend to be the longest lead item for space telescopes - that is not an issue here #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:11:05Moore - need a launch vehicle with a large shround - typical of Atlas V or Falcon 9 #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:11:36#NASA asked if will provide names of the spacecraft & photos - they do not have "name" we are trying to think of a name Need to talk to NRO
2012-06-05 03:15:17NASA PAO's JD Harrington did'nt inform all media w/ equal advance notice to info surrounding the NRO telescopes. Playing favorites #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:16:42#NASA says that all NRO telescope hardware has been declassified but won't release images of declassified hardware. Contradiction #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:17:54NASA claims that NRO telescopes do not have names. What do they call them now? "Telescope A" and "Telescope B" ?
2012-06-05 03:18:34JD Harrington will not make the same individuals available to media that they offered to NY Times and Wa Post. Playing favorites. #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:20:14#NASA said that they notified specific members of Congress that these hardware discussions were underway. #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:20:58Moore: This hardware was developed and determined not to be necessary for use. This hardware was built to fly #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:21:32Dressler: this is a faster optical system than Hubble that can be applied to a wider field telescope - 100X bigger than HST. #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:22:30Dressler: this NRO hw was buit after Hubble. Moore: spacecraft is half the length of HST. Mirror is lighter and more bowl shaped than HST
2012-06-05 03:23:14Moore: spoke of cooperative nature of folks at NRO to do something good for the nation #NRO-NASA
2012-06-05 03:24:50Moore: there is an older computer system - $75-100K to store NRO telescopes at manufacturer #NRO-NASA
