Sir
The headline on your News in Brief “Equipment failure derails space projects” (Nature 414, 835; 2001) does a disservice to at least one of the projects discussed, the NASA–European Space Agency Cassini mission to Saturn. Your article accurately states that Cassini engineers are making progress in fixing haze on images that is thought to result from contamination on the camera's optics or detector. It is, however, incorrect to say that Cassini has been derailed by this problem.
