I'll keep you informed re: access to data from the mission.
BTW:
We just added an exclusive look at the commencement of data gathereing,
offered by our space reporter located in Cape Canaveral. The article is
located at
http://www.spatialnews.com/features/shuttle/earthnews1.html
Apparently there is still some discussion regarding who will be the official
custodians of the resulting DEM data - it will likely be the USGS but that's
not confirmed yet - I guess everything will wind up in SDTS format (I'm sure
all the users out there will love that!) if the USGS controls the data. We
get numerous requests every day regarding SDTS translation! Regardsless, the
data will be available from the EROS website. Cost??

Glenn
