ASU Ronald Greeley
Center for Planetary Studies -
The Ronald Greeley 35mm Slide Collection
|
September 23, 2022.
The Jovian System bundle is released. See the
User's Guide for a description
of this bundle.
|
The Ronald Greeley 35mm Slide
Collection consists of color and grayscale
slides that include images of planetary bodies
(Moon, planets, asteroids, and comets),
planetary missions (e.g., Voyager, Galileo,
Viking), planetary analog sites on Earth, and
presentation materials for research results
presented at national conferences. The slides
were produced by Dr. Ronald Greeley during his
tenure as a research scientist in the late
1960s while at working at NASA Ames, through
to the early 2000s when he was a Regents
Professor at Arizona State University. The
slides were digitized to preserve the research
materials of Dr. Ronald Greeley, who played a
critical role in the planetary missions to the
planets of the inner and outer Solar System.
The slides were professionally scanned at high
resolution (4000 dpi) and organized into
document bundles by subject: aeolian and
volcanic Earth analog sites, wind tunnel
laboratory experiments, general space science,
and by individual planetary bodies (e.g.,
Moon, Mars) and planetary systems (e.g.,
Jovian System). In addition to the digital
products, metadata for each slide (where
information is available) is included in the
Collection.
The entire Collection will
be posted to the AGU RGCPS website here:
https://rgcps.asu.edu/greeley_slide_collection/.
Presently, only the Jovian System bundle is
archived at the Geosciences Node. Additional
bundles may be added in the future. The data
were provided by David A. Willams and David M.
Nelson, Arizona State University.
