An updated release of Apollo Project is now available.

Highlights of changes in this release include:

• Improvements to managing controlled source data sets, including the inclusion of shot and station locations to the SegY file
• Julian Day is now an output directory naming option
• Per channel output files can now be generated (in addition to per instrument and all instruments)
• Support for Taurus Version 3 software (upcoming Taurus release)

Apollo Project 1.2.2 is available as a demo or for licensed users at http://support.nanometrics.ca (login required). 

Apollo PROJECT is a web server application for the convenient retrieval of time series data sets from Nanometrics Taurus recorders and Store files. This is the fastest and most convenient way to manage large data sets across multiple Taurus units.

Apollo PROJECT provides options for the user to define complex and reusable data retrieval tasks. These tasks, when executed, result in the download of complete data sets ready for immediate processing and archival.

Apollo PROJECT fully automates this often repetitive and time consuming task of tracking the data download progress and building network data files in the format selected by the user.

Controlled Source experiments typically involve a large number of instruments. Each instrument records data continuously, from which specific shot data must be extracted, organized and prepared for analysis. These experiments can yield thousands of data records that must be organized, grouped and combined into SEGY files for each shot. Apollo PROJECT automates this often tedious task, taking a simple shot time list and generating combined SEGY files for processing.

Retrieving data from portable seismographs deployed in remote locations and then producing the output of choice can be a significant, time-consuming exercise for the researcher or network operator. The researcher's goal is to minimize the expense and effort in the management of data. At the same time, researchers want to shorten the period from data collection to analysis and publication of results.
