Generally good news: NASA has announced that they will use generic MPEG-2 DVB for a multi-channel service beginning in May. They specify their current east-coast satellite, AMC-6, tr17, parameters tbd. They do not specify if they will continue to simulcast on the west coast satellite AMC-7. With any luck they will be up in digital before the Space Shuttle launch currently scheduled for mid-May > early June launch. Aside from being the first Shuttle launch in over two years, I believe Discovery is equipped with the new digital video system, which basically downlinks miniDV camcorder tapes in full miniDV quality. That combined with the digital C-band should produce the best NASA video ever! (Remembering that throughout its history, NASA has often been pretty sparkley). Finally, just a note that the Russian Soyuz is launching this Thursday (8:45pm ET) to the Space Station, with rendezvous for Saturday night 10:10pm ET.
