H2 was detected in four PNe in this survey for the first time. An analysis was perfomed using the H2 line ratios in all of the PN spectra in the survey where a sufficient number of lines were observed to determine the ortho-to-para ratio and the rotational and vibrational excitation temperatures of the H2 in those objects.

Reengineering Deep Space Network Operations

Eight additional antennas are being added to NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) at the same time that the budget is being decreased. Therefore, the DSN is reengineering its processes to operate more efficiently.
