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:
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
