The South Atlantic Anomaly is a part of the radiation belts over the South Atlantic that anomalously reaches a much lower altitude than the rest of the belts. It tends to do nasty things to solid-state electronics. E.g., at one point, there was a good chance of one or more random bits getting flipped in one of the computers on the space telescope as it passed through the anomaly. I think they worked around this by not having the memory active while it's there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carl J Lydick HEPnet/NSI: SOL1::CARL Internet: CARL@SOL1.GPS.CALTECH.EDU
