Words From The Editor
Many of you are aware that during the month of February we gave much of our attention to the
latest global mapping mission conducted by the space shuttle Endeavour - NASA Mission STS-99. In this month's edition
we'll give you some heads up on what kind of data you can expect to have access to. Also, we're
highlighting some innovative new software and providing you with a primer on the Windows CE operating system. We
hope you enjoy it!
