Genesis Mission Status Update October 9, 2002

Genesis is in good health and continuing to collect samples from the solar
wind.

The flight team completed a test of the rejection grid on the sample
concentrator. During the test, voltage in the grid was raised to 2,100
volts, with 20-volt increments. Other results were consistent with past
testing. The concentrator has operated without incident since June at up
to 2,060 volts on the rejection grid. In two successive tests, it has
performed at 2,100 volts.
