Acknowledgements
I would like to thank all those who have made Views Of The
Solar System possible; especially, the following people and
organizations:
- Patricia T. Eker & Tim Merrigan of
Los Alamos National Laboratory
for providing the primary server for
"Views of the Solar System."
- Tina Pauro of JPL for providing considerable support and
assistance in obtaining planetary image data and NASA/JPL publications.
- The National Science Teachers Association for their
tremendous service in checking the tour for accuracy and for producing
a CD-ROM version which will be released in the fall of 1996.
- Doug Messier of NSTA for checking the pages for accuracy
and for providing the history pages on the Soviet space program.
- Dr. Grant Heiken of Los Alamos National Laboratory for his
help in creating the Terrestrial Volcanoes and
Valles Caldera, New Mexico pages.
- Dr. Eric M. Jones of Los Alamos Naitonal Laboratory for providing
the Apollo Summaries and for his excellent work in providing the
Apollo Lunar Surface Journal.
- Mary Ann Hager of the Lunar and Planetary Institute provided
several slide sets from which photos were scanned and used in the tour.
- Dr. Virgil L. Sharpton of the Lunar and Planetary Institute
provided images and most of the information on
Terrestrial Impact Craters.
- Dr. Ellis Miner of JPL for providing up to date information
on the outer planets.
- Ansel Teng of the Image Analysis Systems group at JPL for the
CDMosaic software support which was used in generating several
of the images on the Martian Volcanoes page.
- Phil Stooke of the Department of Geography of the University
of Western Ontario for providing much of the infomation on
Saturn's smaller satellites.
- Bill Arnett, the author of
The Nine Planets, provided information, corrections and help.
- Dr. Bradford A. Smith of the Planetary Data System and the
National Space Science Data Center. They are responsible for the Voyager
CD-ROM set, which provided the raw data I have processed and used
extensively in this tour.
- Dr. Michael H. Carr of the US Geological Survey, the Planetary Data
System and the National Space Science Data Center. They are responsible for
the Viking CD-ROM set, which provided the raw data I have processed and
used in the Mars and related pages.
