Certainly the format is documented at NASA. Could someone obtain a copy with a FOIA request?

- kingcharles 5y agoExactly. But surely someone has done this already? What are we missing here? (I think the data format for one of the early landers, Viking perhaps, was lost, but didn't someone figure it out?)
- dylan604 5y agoWhich project was it that found the old tapes and reversed how to get that data? I seem to remember them being in an old fast food building or something. It is however entirely possible I'm confusing stories together.???
- celias 5y agoYou are probably thinking of the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP) that was housed in an old McDonalds https://moonviews.com https://moonviews.com I believe the same people were involved in the ISEE-3 Reboot Project https://sservi.nasa.gov/articles/isee-3-reboot-project/ https://sservi.nasa.gov/articles/isee-3-reboot-project/
- dylan604 5y agoYes, the McMoons location is what I was thinking. Thanks for helping ensure that I'm not crazy. at least in this particular instance! So this time, the voices were not leading me astray ;-)
- wolverine876 5y agoMaybe just send an email. If someone has the data and a moment, they might send it, and NASA seems to encourage an engaged public.
