Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project - Future Preservation

Future Preservation

After each image is processed and restored, the data will be sent to the Planetary Data System (PDS), a digital repository for NASA mission and ground support data. The PDS was co-founded by Nancy Evans as a way to preserve and provide access to planetary datasets.

The FR-900 heads are being refurbished by Videomagnetics Inc. located in Colorado Springs Co. – the only company in the world that still refurbishes Ampex and RCA Quadruplex video heads.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or preservation:

    Do not discourage your children from hoarding, if they have a taste to it; whoever lays up his penny rather than part with it for a cake, at least is not the slave of gross appetite; and shows besides a preference always to be esteemed, of the future to the present moment.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    There is something to be said for jealousy, because it only designs the preservation of some good which we either have or think we have a right to. But envy is a raging madness that cannot bear the wealth or fortune of others.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
