FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEAugust 15, 1989
News updates on Voyager 2's encounter with Neptune
will be available to the public during late August on special
telephone numbers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Frequently updated reports on the spacecraft
mission can be heard August 19-31 by phoning (900) 590-1234.
Cost for each call on this 900 number is 45 cents for the

some members of the public may prefer to call a regular
telephone number in Pasadena, Calif., carrying the same
audio reports. That number is (818) 354-4227. Normal long-
distance charges, if any, will apply.
In addition to mission status reports, the
telephone lines will carry live audio from daily press

progress. Press conferences are scheduled at 10 a.m. PDT
daily August 21-29.
Another telephone line, (818) 354-0409, will carry
the mission status reports only (no press conference audio).
Normal long-distance charges, if any, will apply.
A fourth telephone line available to the public,
(818) 354-7292, will carry press conference audio as well as
audio from hourly NASA Select television reports (no mission
status reports). NASA Select television programs are
scheduled approximately hourly from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PDT
August 21-29, except as preempted by the daily press
conference. Normal long-distance charges, if any, will apply
on this phone line.
Voyager 2 will make the first-ever flyby of the
planet Neptune on August 24 (Pacific time). The Voyager
Mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Office of Space Science
and Applications.
