About this capture

COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Collection: ArchiveBot: The Archive Team Crowdsourced Crawler

ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).

To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

NASA TV Coverage on Comet Shoemaker-Levy

July 14, 1994

REVISED MEDIA BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR COMET SHOEMAKER-LEVY 9

The first fragment of the comet, which is one of the smallest and dimmest of the 21 fragments, will impact Jupiter just before 4 p.m. EDT, July 16, on the side of Jupiter facing away from Earth. Shortly afterwards, the point of impact will rotate into view as seen from Earth, and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) will image the impact area. The data will be downlinked around 7:30 p.m. EDT.

A press briefing will be held at 10 p.m. EDT at STScI during which scientists will discuss the first image of the impact area. The entire Saturday program beginning at 7:30 p.m. EDT, and all scheduled briefings through July 22, will be broadcast live on NASA Television with two-way question-and-answer capability for reporters covering the briefings from participating NASA centers. For the July 16 briefing, media should fax accreditation requests to STScI at 410/338-4579.

In addition to the GSFC Comet Impact newsroom, which will be open 24 hours a day from July 16-22 for briefing coverage, the other participating NASA centers are Headquarters in Washington, D.C.; the Kennedy Space Center, Fla.; the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala., and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, will be open for TV viewing only on Saturday, and will begin complete coverage, including two-way Q&A; capability for reporters, with Sunday morning's 10 a.m. EDT briefing. Journalists are asked to call the Jet Propulsion Laboratory newsroom at (818) 354-5011 to confirm scheduling of TV events there.

On Sunday morning, July 17, at 10:00 a.m. EDT, a press briefing will be held at GSFC. The briefing will include more information on the initial fragment (fragment 'A') as well as available information from HST and other observatories which observed fragments B, C and D. Panelists will include Eugene and Carolyn Shoemaker, David Levy and other science team members.

The complete schedule of briefings is listed below. (* Denotes change from previous schedule.)

 
JULY DATE	TIME (EDT)	EVENT/LOCATION

Fri.	22	9:30 a.m.	Press Briefing at GSFC (Subject to change
 				as STS-65 landing events warrant)
Sat.	23	8:00 a.m.	Press Briefing at GSFC

Media wishing to attend the GSFC briefings must have valid press credentials and a photo ID. Media representatives who are not U.S. citizens must contact the Goddard Office of Public Affairs at 301/286-8955 before registering.

The Goddard Comet Impact newsroom will be the central location providing coverage of observations and images from the worldwide network of ground-based observatories and spacecraft taking part in the NASA/National Science Foundation observing project. Scientists will be on hand at the newsroom to answer questions, or interviews can be arranged as needed. Press materials, artwork and video relating to the event will be available to media.

NASA TV is carried on Spacenet 2, transponder 5, channel 9, 69 degrees West. The transponder frequency is 3880 MHz, the audio is 6.8 MHz, and polarization is horizontal.
