Dennis Wingo: I couldn’t help it. We needed to know the sequences in the tapes for Goldstone as the sequence numbers that we have used forever are missing. So, I ran the first Lunar Orbiter V Goldstone tape today with the nearly dead head. It worked pretty well. So it was captured and one more high res image down!\nG5-001, partial capture LOV-006H (90 framelets)
\nWe got almost a complete high res image and I can now figure out what sequence number it is from (002) and thus know what is coming next and how that fits with the Woomera data that we already have.
\nEnd of day update. G4-001 looked pretty good and there are two tapes in that sequence. Soooo….
\nG5-002, complete capture LOV-005H
\nNote that image 005H is the lowest numbered high resolution frame for Lunar Orbiter V. The Goldstone captures started three days before the Woomera ones for some reason so it bears to reason that for a while Goldstone has images that don’t exist with the tapes we have already run. I may run another tape or two just to see how far I can go before the head completely dies, that is, if the image quality is still good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
