03 Mailing lists (Space FAQ)
SPACE Digest has been broken up into 5 separate digests to mirror the
Usenet split of sci.space. To submit messages, the addresses are:
To submit to: Send email to: -------------------- ------------------------------------- space space-tech@isu.isunet.edu spacepol space-policy@isu.isunet.edu spacesci space-science@isu.isunet.edu space-sh space-shuttle@isu.isunet.edu spacenws NO SUBMISSIONS ALLOWED
To subscribe or unsubscribe to any of these lists (rather than to submit
postings to them), email
listserv@isu.isunet.edu
The message body should be one of
help (get help document) info genintro (get intro document) subscribe <listname> <your name> (add yourself to a list) signoff <listname> (remove yourself from a list)
e.g.
subscribe space John Public
signoff spacesci
If you need to communicate with a human list maintainer rather than the
listserv, email space-request@isu.isunet.edu.

The Shuttle Elements Mailing List is a moderated list for fast
distribution of Space Shuttle Keplerian Elements before and during
Shuttle flights. NASA two-line elements are sent out to the list
frequently with the most up-to-date data available from several sources.
See
http://www.cts.com/browse/garym/elements
or to get subscription information by email, send "info elements" to
listserv@thomsoft.com. The list maintainer is Gary Morris
(elements-request@thomsoft.com).
GPS Digest is a (currently inactive, for lack of a system to run it on)
moderated list for discussion of the Global Positioning System and other
satellite navigation positioning systems. Email
gps-request@esseye.si.com to join. A Usenet group,
sci.geo.satellite-nav, has been established to deal with terrestrial
applcations of satellite navigation.
Space-investors is a list for information relevant to investing in
space-related companies. Email space-investors-request@lunacity.com to
join. The list maintainer is Michael Wallis (mwallis@lunacity.com).
Space-tech is a list for more technical discussion of space topics;
discussion has included esoteric propulsion technologies, asteroid
capture, starflight, orbital debris removal, etc. Email to
space-tech-request@cs.cmu.edu to join. Some archives (now somewhat
out of date, but still interesting) are in
ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/usr/mnr/
or by email to space-tech-request if you don't have FTP access.
Ssi-mail is a discussion group covering the Space Studies Institute.
Email to listserv@link.com with a message saying "subscribe ssi_mail
First Name Last Name".
SEDS-L is a BITNET list for members of Students for the Exploration and
Development of Space and other interested parties. Email
LISTSERV@TAMVM1.BITNET with a message saying "SUBSCRIBE SEDS-L your
name". Email saying "INDEX SEDS-L" to list the archive contents.
SEDSNEWS is a BITNET list for news items, press releases, shuttle status
reports, and the like. This duplicates material which is also found in
Space Digest, sci.space.news, sci.space.shuttle, and sci.astro. Email
LISTSERV@TAMVM1.BITNET saying "SUBSCRIBE SEDSNEWS your name" to join.
Email saying "INDEX SEDSNEWS" to list the archive contents.
Ron Baalke (baalke@kelvin.jpl.nasa.gov) runs a mailing list which
carries the contents of the sci.space.news Usenet group. Email him to
join the list.
As a general note, please mail to the *request* address to get off a
mailing list. SPACE Digest, for example, relays many inappropriate
'please remove me from this list' messages which are sent to the list
address rather than the request address.
