edkyle99 - 25/10/2006 10:27 AMQuoteJim - 25/10/2006 9:45 AMnopeO.K.. I see from the following press release that the tanks are contracted to Alcatel Alenia Space in Turin, Italy.http://www.home.alcatel.com/vpr/vpr.nsf/DateKey/18042006_1ukAlcatel Alenia Space (probably just Alenia Spazio then) won this work in 2001. The move from Pueblo didn't happen until several years after that. Who built the tanks prior to 2001? - Ed Kyle

An AU is an Astronomical Unit, which is the distance from the Earth to the sun (93,000,000 miles)!! That can't be right.Exactly! The probes will be orbiting the Sun. One will be preceding the Earth and the other one will be following it.
