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!
