The Space and Astronomy CDROM is a collection of images, text files
and software related to space exploration and astronomy. Educators,
students and space enthusiasts will enjoy this disc. You can run
this disc on both PC compatible and Macintosh computers.
The 1000 image files on the Space and Astronomy CDROM will dazzle
your eye. There are images of the earth, the planets, the stars,
astronauts and spacecraft. Most of these images are from NASA. You
will see our solar system from the vantage point of deep space
probes. You will see portraits of space shuttle crews and the
hardware that makes their missions possible.
The 5000 text files included (and fully readable directly from the
disc) will fill your mind with detailed accounts of space missions
and comprehensive data on astronomic topics. These files include
information on asteroids, NASA news bulletins, NASA press releases
since 1962, the Usenet sci.space archives from the Internet, and more.
A collection of astronomy and space-related shareware rounds out the
Space and Astronomy CDROM. The disc's handy viewer program lets you
browse the disc viewing images, reading documents, and unzipping
program files. The Space and Astronomy CDROM is BBS-ready, with
index files for RBBS, opus, PCBoard, Spitfire, Maximus, and Wildcat
BBS software.
