[net.space] JPL photos

rrm (11/15/82)

Does anyone know if JPL photos are available to be purchased by the general
public. I'm interested in pictures from the Mariner, Viking and Voyager
missions. I would like the complete frames which contain not only the
picture but contain specific information on the picture (e.g. any processing
for constrast enhancement) content.

At least as of a year and a half ago, JPL photos were for sale through the
Caltech bookstore.  Their address is:

                      Bookstore
                      Caltech
                      1201 E. California Blvd.
                      Pasadena, CA  91125

They generally have packets of photos from different missions, etc.  (Also
photos from the Hale Observatories, i.e. Mt. Palomar, etc.)
I don't know how much information is included regarding image processing or
contrast enhancement; probably not much.  But the bookstore might also be able
to tell you where you can get the info.  For technical info, another source
might be:
                      JPL
                      Public Information Bureau
                      4800 Oak Grove Drive
                      Pasadena, CA  (???)
