This is the archive of VSOP newsletters, produced every couple of weeks earlier in the mission, and less regularly these days. Having come this far, perhaps you'll be interested in also reading an article about information on the web (is not available now) by Sarah Stevens-Rayburn and Ellen Bouton -- the VSOP News is mentioned in section 4!
