Hi,
I’ve come across a fairly large collection of tape reels containing copies of NASA satellite data (Dynamics Explorer 1 and another satellite), the copies look to be from the mid to late 80s. What are some identifying features I should look for to figure out the tape drive and minicomputer needed to read them? They’re taking up a lot of space and it would be nice to move the data to something more modern.
