Dennis Wingo: Not too productive today, lots of details to get right when we are at this point in the process. Made it to tape M5-099. Wanted to do 100 but it is head clogging so I said heck with it, deal with it in the morning.
Have not done a tape log in a while but here ya go. Many of these that are “completes image” are from tapes previously captured that were partial captures. This is the nice thing about LOV, we are going to get probably over 99% recovery of images from this mission, including dozens that are not on the LPI site.

Whew, that is a lot of work over the last few days, even with the ones that we did not need to digitize as we have to figure out what is on the tapes and the only way to do that sometimes is to compare times with the other ground stations or play them.
Tomorrow we should pass the half way point with the Madrid tapes, slightly ahead of schedule.
