Good news indeed. Wonder how old the data will be before it's released?
Where will information from the survey be stored? Who will be able to access it, and what kinds of applications will it be used for?
The huge amount of data will be processed and stored at the ANU super computing facility. After a period of data quality control we will make the data set freely available to the world via the Internet - any one can access it. Once it goes public we are sure it will be used for scientific purposes that we, the SkyMapper team, can’t even imagine - that is the way of science!
