The data will be taken as line_3: Mercury rises above the Earth's limb. These data should obtain images with a line_4: resolution of 30 km on the side of Mercury not seen by the Mariner 10 line_5: spacecraft. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: WESTPHAL fname: JAMES mi: A. inst: CALTECH country: USA ! ! end of general_form_proposers block general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: Because Mercury is always within 28 degrees of the Sun when viewed from the line_2: Earth, special caution must be taken to insure the HST does not emerge inside line_3: the 50 degree avoidance zone. Mercury can be viewed with HST by using the Earth line_4: as an 'occulting disk. Tau AS Mercury rises above the Earth limb, the HST is line_5: slewed into position to view Mercury rises while the Sun is occulted. The line_6: aviblable time to view Mercury varies linearly with the elongation and is about line_7: 4.2 minutes at 28 degrees elongation. Only one or two exposures cn be taken line_8: before the HST must be slewed away from the rising sun. line_10: comment continued from CP 11: Special Requirements: Special HST acquisition line_11: procedures will have to be developed; planetary tracking required. ! question: 13 section: 1 line_1: We propose to take high resolution, multispectral images of the planet mercury line_2: with the WF/PC using the Earth to shield the Sun.
