    Stardust Status Report
    April 4, 2003

    This past week, the Stardust flight team used the antennas of JPL's Deep
    Space Network on four occasions. Data relayed from the spacecraft during
    these contact indicated Stardust is healthy and all subsystems continue to
    run normally.

    Four Star Camera images were taken and sent to the ground to
    determine the performance of the Star Camera. The performance
    evaluation is expected to be completed next week.

    Information on the present position and orbits of the Stardust spacecraft
    and comet Wild 2 may be found on the "Where Is Stardust Right Now?" web
    page located at:

    sample-return mission -- please visit the Stardust home page:
