  1. Home for the holidays but our trusty crew at MacMoons is working on software for automating lunar image capture this week.
  2. @timoreilly Do we get money back if the temperatures fall?
  3. More cleanup here before the holidays.
  4. Waiting to get our next head in so that we can get more images!
  5. Working at LOIRP today to clean up a lot of our files and get organized for further mass production of images.
  6. Getting ready to train Keith Cowing on how to get images from the lunar tapes!
  7. Interesting boulders in very small craters on the Moon. http://www.moonviews.com/archives/2009/12/seeing_boulders_on_the_moon.html
  8. @Hackerdojo The LOIRP Team at NASA Ames is looking for experienced soldierers to build some Surface mount boards for us via hand soldier.
  9. About to get to work today making images. Keith Cowing from NASAWatch put together our new Mac Workstation Sunday. 14 Terabytes of Disk!
  10. Here is a great video of a parabolic mirror melting steel. ISRU baby! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJot9WKybQE
  11. Just got our graphics processing MacIntosh 8 processor, 14 terabyte, 32 gigabyte computer today with the 30" screen! Lunar Images await!
  12. Finally found our first FR-900 parts from any source other than Nancy Evans last week, on ebay! www.moonviews.com for more details.
  13. Back at Ames now for the LOIRP project. We just ordered our new (refurb for $1000 less) Mac Workstation for image processing!
  14. I was able to buy the boards and we will use them as spare parts and upgrades for our LOIRP FR-900's!
  15. Last night on a mailing list of Ampex afficionados a post came across. This post was about a sale on ebay of boards that are from the FR900
  16. I favorited a YouTube video -- STS-129 Ascent Video Highlights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxUV9Q3d64Q&feature=autoshare_twitter
  17. Just got back home for the holidays. We recovered somewhat from my mistake on how we captured images. Three tapes (4 images) yesterday.
  18. Stick me in the heart, the last two days of captures, over 14 images, has to be redone because the trigger on the digitizer was not working.
  19. Today we are going to be back at it. Already doing images this morning and working to keep all the files organized! 12.5 Gbytes per tape!
  20. Yesterday we had our best day ever in image capture. We captured 7 complete images on four tapes. Today we are going to beat this record!
