Back in the summer of 1988, Code 562/GSFC had identified the necessary hardware and software to convert the analog high density tapes (HDT) to CCT. Since then, the analog system has probably been excessed/cannibalized and the capability to convert the tapes was lost permanently.
When considering the data set's scentific values, the conversion into CCT was termed "debatable." The data set was old, but the data producer thought it was well calibrated. It has high resolution in the IR (> NOAA AVHRR, << Landsat TM) and is unique for thermal measurements because of a 2 p.m. equatorial crossing time.
