[Disclaimer; this is not Jon Rapkin writing, but Jim Moskowitz] Does anyone have information about the availability of color video from NASA's 'recent' interplanetary missions (Voyager, Viking, ICEE), or animations of same? I am helping an area science museum put together a videodisk compliation of footage, which will be used for a 'your trip into space' station, where people can choose from a menu of destinations and activities, and then watch highlights of their trip. There's lots of good Earth-orbit material, and shots of people working (shirtsleeve or EVA suit) in space, thanks to the shuttle, but for farther trips we need to find planetary video. We're looking for things like approach shots of Mars, the Red Spot slowly turning, moons casting shadows on Saturn, etc. The video has to be color and can't just be still photos; if you have a source for such material please email to this account. Thank you in depth, Jim Moskowitz (via Jon Rapkin's account)
