[sci.electronics] Someone Please Post/Email Recent OSCAR-9 CCD Image Data? Beg, Beg.

wwg@brambo.UUCP (Warren W. Gay) (04/03/89)

Could someone kindly post the data from the OSCAR-9 CCD image that 
was recently taken.  I do not have the equipment to receive it.

If someone could please, pretty please, post the data. I'll 
gladly do the work to convert it to Postscript so I can print it.
I'll also gladly share the Postscript file if I have any success.
Uuencoded is FB.

This will make a nice Amateur Radio Club presentation topic too; thanx
in advance.  I'm sure that other netters would chomp at the bit, to
print a satellite image on their laser printers!

So, please, please, pretty please with sugar on it, can someone post
the image data?  I'll even mail you a cat or three for the effort!
Postage paid! (I have 3 cats-- ie. 3 too many!)

I, too would be very interested in this as well.  I have the FBM
conversion software and could redistribute it in other formats for
people (like .PCX, .GIF, .TIF, Sun raster, postscript images etc.).

I can also generate high resolution (4000dpi) paper or film images if
anyone is interested.

ALSO, I would be interested in the formats from UoSat-2 and the micro
sats.  I am working towards an automated image gathering system.

Much Thanks...  jv
