There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Workshop on introduction to dynamical systems methods for mission design
This workshop is designed to provide an introduction to recent methods to design orbits for spacecraft which use less fuel by taking advantage of natural gravitational forces. The analysis of such missions requires a deep understanding of the structure of phase space.
The workshop is part of a SURP grant by JPL Graduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to attend.
Some information on the workshop is available at: http://people.math.gatech.edu/~rll6/JPL/jpl.html
