摘要

Nasa's plan to drop a healthy environmental satellite into the ocean next year has provoked an outcry from scientists and touched off a flurry of last minute discussions between the U.S. and Japanese space agencies. NASA informed the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) earlier this year that it intends to decommission the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite in the weeks ahead and steer it into the ocean in 2005. News of the decision leaked to Japan's Kyodo news service in early June and NASA's public affairs division quickly confirmed that TRMM would indeed be coming down in 2005. But now NASA and JAXA officials say they still are discussing the future of the joint satellite mission and that no final decisions have been made regarding when to end science operations and bring the spacecraft out of orbit. Both sides, however, say they cannot afford to pay the $3 million to $4 million a year it costs to keep the satellite flying.
