- =====================================
- MAGELLAN CD-ROMs
- Cycle 2
- November 5, 1992
- =====================================
-
- Fourteen more Magellan CD-ROMs (volumes 53 through 66) have now
- been released by the Magellan project. A total of 77 Magellan CD-ROMs
- are now available: 66 CD-ROMs containing radar images, and 11 CD-ROMs
- containing altimetry data. Volumes 1 through 52 contain the radar
- images taken by the Magellan spacecraft during Cycle 1, the first 8 month
- mapping of the planet Venus. Volumes 53 through 66 are the first release
- of the Cycle 2 radar data.
-
- The CD-ROMs can be obtained from the National Space Science Data Center
- (NSSDC) at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The "nominal" charge is $20 for
- the first CD-ROM, and $6 for any additional CD-ROM in an order. However,
- NSSDC may waive this charge for a small amount of data requested by bona fide
- research users, government laboratories, etc. School teachers who are unable
- to pay may be helped on a case by case basis, and/or as resources permit.
- Researchers funded by NASA's Solar System Exploration Division can also obtain
- the CD-ROMs through the Planetary Data System at JPL.
-
- NSSDC's address is:
-
- National Space Science Data Center
- Goddard Space Flight Center
- Greenbelt, Maryland 20771
- Tel: (301) 286-6695
-
- Email address: request@nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov
-
- You can also reach NSSDC by logging on to their computer. To log onto the
- NSSDC computer, telnet to NSSDC.GSFC.NASA.GOV and give the username "NSSDC".
- You will then be connected to a menu system which allows you to use the
- "Master Directory". You can also leave questions and orders for the NSSDC
- staff. If this is the first time you have used the NSSDC "NODIS" system, it
- will ask you for information (name, address, ...) to keep a database of NSSDC
- users.
-
- NSSDC also provides the following software to display the images:
-
- o IMDISP (IBM PC)
- o Browser (Macintosh)
- o Pixel Pusher (Macintosh)
- o True Color (Macintosh)
-
- The Magellan CD-ROMs will also eventually be available at the anonymous
- ftp site at the Ames Research Center: ames.arc.nasa.gov [128.102.18.3].
- The Ames site has two CD-ROM drives and they are accessible through the
- pub/SPACE/CDROM and pub/SPACE/CDROM2 directories.
