The emergency team formed by NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Navy's Fleet Weather Facility to aid Jacques-Yves Cousteau's crippled research vessel Calypso [see Feb. 15] had been disbanded, NASA announced. The Calypso had safely navigated the dangerous Drake Passage between Antarctica and the Ushuaia port, Argentina, using weather and ice information supplied by Ats 3 satellite. Satellite photos had been processed at Goddard Space Flight Center, turned over to FWF, and analyzed and information transmitted to Cousteau aboard the Calypso. (NASA Release 73-33)
