Mpack/munpack is available via anonymous FTP in ftp.andrew.cmu.edu:pub/mpack/ --- Gene, Danny: If I make it to Maryland for my proposal review, I will not be in touch for the MEX BSR experiment that occurs on days 039/040; the review officially ends Friday afternoon so I would be either at the airport or on the plane when the pre-cal starts. If I don't go or if I get out early (there have been rumors), I'll let you know. If you need to reach me while I'm still at the meeting, the hotel number is 410-785-7000; I'll be with the NASA LASER Remote Sensing Panel. The experiment should be very much like the one on 033/034 except that they are giving us only about 40 minutes on the surface and the LOS is so early that you can probably go home an hour before the official EOA.

There were surface echoes in all four received channels and the echoes were approaching 40 dB/Hz at times. The data from 033/034 have been transferred to Stanford and undergone our quick-look processing. It is likely that we will have the data from the second experiment by the end of next week.
