Dear colleagues,
Information on satellites status potentially interesting for coral reef
studies:
LANDSAT 7 was launched successfully on April 15th 1999. It is still in a
test period. More details on http://geo.arc.nasa.gov/sge/landsat/l7status.html
IKONOS 1, Space Imaging's high - resolution satellite (1 meter in
panchromatic mode and 4 meters in 4-bands multipectral mode) launched a
couple days ago died. It never reached orbit. A result of a faulty
booster rocket.
