This set of 1433 tapes was brought into NSSDC in 1990 at the urging of the PI, Dr. Ken Frost of GSFC. The data were essentially raw data and the data tapes were poorly organized. Some time after the arrival of these tapes at NSSDC, Dr. Ed Kemper, then of the NSSDC's contractor staff, won Astrophysics Data Program funding for a rescue of these data. He sorted through about half of the original tapes, did some reorganizing of the data, and created a set of 221 new tapes. There have been no requests for, or accesses to, these data in their years at NSSDC. Advice from HEASARC was that the probability of future need for these data is extremely low. Accordingly NSSDC released the full set of 1433 tapes in late 1999, given the continuing NSSDC availability of about half their data on the set of 221 tapes. -JHK, 12/21/99
