Most recent updates are here, on NASA's blog dedicated to IMAGE recovery: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/nasa-image-confirmed https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/nasa-image-confirm...
This is quite an outdated post, as NASA has updated as recently as last month. This article that's posted was updated in January. A lot has changed.
- laken 8y agoAlso, this a really good read if you have the time: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/a-detailed-timeline-of-the-image-mission-recovery https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/a-detailed-timelin... It reads as if it's from Andy Weir's "The Martian" Favorite quote from that article: `Burley adds a closing question: “Does anyone happen to have a 4 mm tape cartridge reader that will work on a modern Linux workstation and a 16-year-old data tape and not disintegrate it?”`
- drittich 8y agoAgreed - it's the personal touches that make the story.
- ColinWright 8y agoPersonally, I find it more interesting to read that older post, and hen follow through the story and updates via comments here and more recent blog posts. Far more interesting to get the original story rather than just a single "up-to-date" bulletin. Adds to the drama - in a good way.
- laythea 8y agoYep. The website updates posts are in the wrong chronological order for a good read!
