John,

Any clue about how the WKPP mapper design compares to the USDCT's? The 
Wakky II mapper was central to the project's success or failure since 
they failed to deliver on the "tripple the distance" challenge, so I'd be 
interested in what was similar/different.

NASA has put up probes that map other astral bodies with great detail in 
3D, I'm sure this isn't beyond the curent state of technology, but I'd 
like to see some actual maps.

Later,

JoeL
