July 22, 2014. A panel discussion from the Digital Preservation 2014 meeting covered how the challenges of preservation data from space are truly astronomical. Four presenters discussed and explored these issues in a range of contexts. These included projects working with satellite data from the 1950s, a database of extragalactic distances occurring in research libraries, and ongoing work on managing space data and data from satellites at National Oceanographic Data Center and NASA. The panelists explored issues in curating space data over the last sixty years, providing a fruitful context to better understand the lifecycle of research data in this and other fields. Presenters included Hampapuram Ramapriyan (NASA), Deirdre Byrne (NOAA/NODC), Emily Frieda Shaw (University of Iowa Libraries) and Karl Nilsen & Robin Dasler (University of Maryland Libraries). Vivek Navale (National Archives) served as moderator. For transcript, captions, and more information, visit http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=6585
