From the field

Into the future with a ping Jan 30 2008

Can you imagine my alarm when I was recently informed that I would have to know how to “ping” a satellite as part of my job description?

My friends know that if it was left to me to invent the wheel, for example, humankind would have to wait for many more centuries. I am one of those people who are good at using technologies once I have been given the “know-how”. But I’m not good at inventing anything myself, nor do I have the patience to spend hoursworking out how to engage these systems.

So I was relieved to hear that I would be trained and equipped with the skills to do the pinging.
