Space Science CD-ROMs
from the
Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics
University of Colorado at Boulder
The University of Colorado is pleased to make available NASA space Science
CD-ROMs to the general public. Two CD-ROM disk sets are available now:
Space Science Samplers
This set consists of two CD-ROM volumes. The first volume has 800 of the
best images of Uranus from Voyager 2 including all of the images of
Uranus's rings and moons. The second volume contains 1,400 files of space
and Earth science data, including including a sampling of Voyager and
Viking images, data on Earth's oceans, and data on comets.
Voyagers to the Outer Planets
Eight CD-ROM volumes containing over 16,000 Voyager images ofJupiter,
Saturn and Uranus. These are raw images from the Voyager cameras: no
enhancement has been performed. Each image is recorded twice: once at full
resolution (800 X 800 pixels) in compressed format; and the second time in
uncompressed format at reduced resolution (200 x 200) for easy display.
Software to decompress the compressed images is included on the disks.
The Details
These CD-ROM volumes can be played on any CD-ROM player. They conform to
the ISO 9660 standard for volume, directory and file format, except for the
Space Science Sampler Volume 1 which conforms to the older High Sierra
CD-ROM standard. They can be read on any computer that has software for
reading High Sierra/ISO 9660 formatted disks. Microsoft's CD-ROM extensions
(MSCDEX) software provides High Sierra/ISO 9660 support for computers
operating MS-DOS. MSCDEX (included with many CD-ROM drives) is available
from computer dealers for less than $100. Apple CD-ROM software is
available from Apple dealers.
The images and the non-image data sets on the disks are stored in simple
binary files. information about the file formats is included on each disk.
With each order we provide image display software for IBM PC, PS/2 or Apple
Macintosh II computers. System requirements for the display programs are
as follows:
IBM PC or PS/2 computers and compatables: MS-DOS ver 3.1 or later,
MSCDEX ver 2.0 or later, EGA or VGA monitor (VGA recomended).
