Well so much for those required security clearances... 2- Requirements - The Nimbus II data restoration requirements include: • Recover the Nimbus II HRIR and MRIR data from the tapes and restore the data to files on disk • Assess the overall success and identify when bad records and bytes have not been successfully recovered • Compute and archive checksums of all Nimbus II files recovered. • Ingest Nimbus II data into the S4PA system at GES DISC • Make Nimbus II data available to users via web • Publish Nimbus II metadata to ECHO and by doing so make it available to the public • Provide enough documentation on-line for a user to understand how to write a utility to read Nimbus II data and know the quality of the data. It turns out Honest John only created image files of NASA's tapes and did not invent custom analysis software for them as has been claimed: "Software to read and extract Nimbus II data from the recovered files was developed based on the expected structure of the HRIR and MRIR data as defined by the Nimbus II User Guide." The tape eqpt brought feedstock value to P2O because Honest John claimed he was required to recycle all those tapes... 5- Nimbus II Remaining work 1) Receive and process files recovered from MRIR Backup Tapes in Table 3. 2) Receive and process files recovered from HRIR Backup Tapes in Table 5, Table 7 and Table 8. 3) Determine whether additional data was recovered from the MRIR and HRIR Backup Tapes and add/replace as appropriate in S4PA. 4) Receive and process the missing TAP files in Table 6. Add new files to S4PA. Determine which Backup Tapes should be sent in Table 6 and send the Backup Tapes to JBI for recovery. 5) Write an assessment on whether it was useful to recover additional data from the Backup Tapes. 6) Determine when all HRIR and MRIR data that can be reasonably expected to be recovered has been recovered, ingested into S4PA and the integrity is good, finalize this report and prepare a briefing for NARA liaison. 7) Signal JBI that the tapes in their custody can be destroyed. 8) Identify the remaining Backup Tapes at WNRC and NSSDC, retrieve and have them destroyed. disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov
