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.

when the planets drill
your future into you....”
