Space Science: Is It Worth It?
Just a year ago the Galileo spacecraft sent a probe into Jupiter's atmosphere, where it operated flawlessly for an hour, sending back information through a relay link with the orbiter flying overhead.

JPL's Galileo Spacecraft Will Shoot an Interplanetary 'Bulls's Eye'
JPL's Galileo spacecraft, with a December 1995 rendezvous with Jupiter, shot an interplanetary 'bull's eye' when it released its probe to conduct history's first sampling of Jupiter's atmosphere. The probe will slam into Jupiter's hydrogen-helium atmosphere at 100,000 mph as the spacecraft flies overhead and receives and records the probe's data on the structure and composition of the atmosphere.

High Energy Benthic Boundary Layer Experiment (HEBBLE): Preliminary program plan and conceptual design
Deep sea processes of flow-sediment interaction, particularly the role of high energy ocean bottom current events in forming the seafloor topography, transporting material, and mixing the bottom of the water column are examined. A series of observations at and near the sea bottom, in water depths of 4 to 5 km, in areas of the western North Atlantic where high energy current events occur, include site surveys and physical reconnaissance to identify suitable areas and positions, and one or more six month experiments to investigate temporal and spatial variations of high energy events within the boundary layer and their interaction with the seabed. Descriptions of proposed HEBBLE activities are included, with emphasis on technology transfer to the oceanographic community through design, fabrication, testing, and operation of an instrumented ocean bottom lander.
