Info on CD- ROM offer from NASA


-< SPACE >-
================================================================================
MAGELLAN and VIKING CD-ROMS AVAILABLE 11/1/91
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magellan & Viking Orbiter CD-ROMs
October 31, 1991

Sixteen new Magellan CD-ROMs have been released by the Magellan
project. A total of 22 Magellan CD-ROMs has now been released. Also,
two new Viking Orbiter CD-ROMs has been released bringing their total
to 4. 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 waives this charge for
bona fide research users, teachers who indicate that they would be
unable to use the material if they were required to pay, government
laboratories, etc. 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 Date Center
Goddard Space Flight Center
Greenbelt, Maryland 20771
Tel: (301) 286-6695

Email address: [email protected]

You can also reach NSSDC by logging on to their computer. To log
onto the NSSDC computer, telnet to NSSDC.GSFC.NASA.GOV [128.183.36.25]
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 are also available via anonymous ftp at
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. The CD-ROMs will be rotated on a weekly
basis.

The Magellan project is continuing to produce CD-ROMs at the rate
of 8 per month. The current 22 CD-ROMs cover the first 4 months of
mapping, or roughly 1/2 of the planet. The full planet will be
available by February in a set of about 50 CD-ROMs.
