- MAGELLAN CD-ROMs
- March 20, 1992
- =====================================
-
- Six more Magellan CD-ROMs (volumes 43 through 48) have been released by the
- Magellan project. A total of 48 Magellan CD-ROMs has now been released.
- The CD-ROMs contain the radar images taken by the Magellan spacecraft
- during its first 8 month mapping cycle of the planet Venus. The Magellan
- project is continuing to produce CD-ROMs at the rate of about 8 per month.
- The full set of the Cycle 1 radar images will consist of 52 CD-ROMs, plus
- an additional 10 CD-ROMs for the altimeter data which will be released
- later in the year.
-
- 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.
