PingER Rescue, Continued
First tranche of historical PingER data received and verified
An update on the PingER rescue: a first tranche of historical PingER measurement data has been transferred from SLAC into IHI custody, verified, and accessioned into the IHI catalog (ark:/26338/w/pinger). The project’s servers have since been shut down, and there is no longer anyone at SLAC to ask about the rest — so what we recovered may be all that survives. Decades of end-to-end measurements to and from the Global South, no longer at risk of disappearing entirely.
