Folks:
Please forgive me if you get this message more than once. I want to
make sure this gets out to everybody who needs to know.
The STEREO mission uses a particular kind of ephemeris file known as
SPICE for the orbit and attitude information, and there are routines in
the SolarSoft "$SSW/stereo/gen" tree for handling the files. The
upcoming Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe Plus missions will also use the
SPICE ephemeris system, so the STEREO software for handling SPICE files
has been migrated to a separate package called "SunSPICE". This should
be transparent to most users, but people who are using SolarSoft under
Windows will need to install the SunSPICE package on their machines.
This is explained on this website:
http://stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov/sunspice.shtml
Please let me know if you have any problems.

No. 280, “Solar flare neutrons observed on the ground and in space,” by Alec MacKinnon: There has been dramatic progress in studies of the Sun via its emission of energetic neutrons.
No. 281, “To be or not to be - the role of projection effects in EUV imaging,” by Karin Dissauer and Manuela Temmer: Perspective really does matter when using STEREO to observe coronal dimmings.
See
http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/wiki/index.php/RHESSI_Science_Nuggets
listing the current series, 2008-present, and
http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/nuggets/
for the original series, 2005-2008.
We publish these at roughly two-week intervals and welcome contributions,
which should be related, at least loosely, to RHESSI science.
