My initial impression of the news releases I've seen on the jpl.nasa.gov pages 
is that they often use only metric units and when dual units are used, the 
metric units are given with the non-metric in parentheses. This, even in 
verbally describing the navigational challenge, for example. I did see one 
place where they said only "1500 feet (0.3 miles)", but that was the only 
indication I have seen so far without metric or at least dual indication. 
Maybe NASA's getting better!
