NASA lost apollo flight data

It appears nasa lost data of some sort, at the end of the apollo program.

a nasa employee got 3 flight data recorders along with over 600 tapes of data,

a friend of mine aquired the FDRs and tapes after a family member died, who had the stuff originally...well denny died and his family called nasa about this stuff. nasa sent 2 employees by car from maryland to pittsburgh, they came to take a look and left with 2 truckloads of stuff. they hope this may recover data from 3 apollo missions.

dennys daughter knowing my interest in nasa and space stuff in general called to give me news of this discovery.


I hope that nasa is better about retaining stuff from historic missions

Jean promised to keep me informed of future devlopments, and I will pst them here.

Something this important ought to have a news story to go along with it.
Got a cite? If not, websites like NASA Watch would be interested in
this.

In recent past, recovering data from tapes this old has been done by the
Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP).

Hopefully the tapes and data recorders will make there way there.

than advanced airbreathing engines, and so are the tanks to put it in
and the extra thrust to carry it." - Henry Spencer
