Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP) Status 6 November 2013

Status, early afternoon November 6th.
Dennis Wingo: Things are going well today, capturing some tapes, up to M5-017 now. Will do a full update at the end of the day…..
In listening to the audio track the Madrid guys are admitting that they had problems with the FR-900 that caused the blank tapes from the day before…
oops.
Status end of day November 6, 2013.
Things are moving well with the Madrid tapes. We have finished M5-022 so we are about 15% through the Madrid tapes in three days. That’s the good news. The bad news is that M2-M5 and M8 had no data on them. There was a problem with the FR-900 machine that was not detected by the ground station operator. This is probably not that bad as these images were captured at the end of the Madrid tape run. We will know when we get through the tapes if we lost any images.
Tapes through today.
M5-001, no image data, a test tape.
M5-002, no signal

Lots of short captures but some long ones too. Making pretty good progress and hope to keep it up the rest of this week. I would like to have Lunar Orbiter V done by Thanksgiving but I am moving that week! Yikes!
