Re: [ARSCLIST] Telemetry Tapes

[David Lewis <davlew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This isn't just a "videotape" - it's a telemetry tape, monitored at one of
three antennae in the NASA system. The video tapes made by commercial
network stations are what we are used to seeing, but the telemetry tapes are
the most direct source recording for the signal that came from the moon.
NASA likely has them, it's a question of where they are -- NASA doesn't
know.

I don't know of anyone in ARSC that has experience in dealing with telemetry
tapes. But we all probably have experience in finding lost media; one
wouldn't know where to start in terms of offering assistance. Unless LoC has
received telemetry tapes from NASA in the past for purposes of preservation,
one can conclude they would not be there.

I lost the link about the lost NASA tape, but has anyone at NASA considered
asking the Library Of Congress Motion Picture and Sound division for the
videotape ?
 They should have it if anyone should.
