-
- From August 10-12, 1992, an "International Venus Colloquium"
- will be help at the California Institute of Technology's Ramo
- Auditorium in Pasadena. More than 100 scientific researchers
- from around the world will present their results based on data
- from NASA's Magellan and Pioneer Venus missions and on earlier
- Soviet missions to Venus. The colloquium will be particularly
- timely, as Magellan has almost completed its third radar mapping
- cycle around Venus, while Pioneer Venus is nearing its final
- entry into the planet's atmosphere.
-
- The Lunar and Planetary Institute is providing organization
- for the colloquium. Pam Jones (telephone 713-486-2150, facsimile
- 713-486-2160) is the point of contact for registration or
- logistics questions.
-
- The conveners of the scientific program are Dr. R. Stephen
- Saunders at JPL (telephone 818-393-0877, facsimile 818-393-0530)
- and Dr. Sean C. Solomon at MIT (telephone 617-253-3786, facsimile
- 617-253-1699).
-
- Registration before August 3 through LPI is $40 (students
- $20). At the colloquium, registration will be $50 (students
- $30). A free public lecture hosted by the Planetary Society will
- be held on Monday evening, August 10 at 8:00 PM. Dr. A. T.
- Basilevsky from the Vernadsky Institute, of the Russian Academy
- of Sciences will speak on "Views of Venus: An Historical
- Perspective".

- or any of a broad range of other planetary programs in which the
- Lunar and Planetary Institute is involved may use an electronic
- bulletin board over the national computer networks. On SPAN
- (DECNET), set host to LPI::. On Internet, connect by "telnet" to
- "lpi.jsc.nasa.gov" (192.101.147.11). On either network, give the
- username "lpi". Among many other topics, this system gives
- access to the latest announcement and registration form for the
