CDDIS is funded and operated by NASA and will be affected by = this action. Not only will CDDIS staff not be permitted to work, it = appears that NASA will not permit access to public web/ftp servers = during this furlough. Thus CDDIS will not be accessible to users and = will not be able to receive incoming files for our archive. We regret = the GREAT inconvenience this outage will cause, which could last a week = or more. While the CDDIS is unavailable, users can access one of the other data centers supporting the services: IGS: http://www.igscb.org/organization/centers.html ILRS: = http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/products_formats_procedures/data_centers.html IVS: http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/org/components/dc-list.html IDS: http://ids-doris.org/data-products/info.html Let´s all hope that the U.S. Government passes a budget so we all can = continue to work. I will keep you informed as I hear more news.
