Description

This is a color image of a control room with seven people in front of a row of personal or micro or mini computers. Four of them are standing up and three are sitting down but all are staring at the monitors. The back end of the room contains racks of electronic equipment and various measurement instruments. The people are facing sideways from the camera. Some flash was used as the lighting is very bright near the front of the camera while the lighting is darker towards the back of the room. The label states "Left to right: Bud Hill, Peter Backus, Mark Griffin, Alan Patrick. Left to right (seated): Jill Tarter, John Dreher, Ken Smolek. Pioneer 10 signal verification, February 1, 1995, Parkes Observatory, Australia. Photo by Jane Jordan". The photo is still very sharp with minimal aging.
