IPS Slide Service

One of our most valuable resources is the stunning repertoire of images available from the Hubble Space Telescope, from interplanetary spacecraft, and from large ground-based telescopes. The IPS slide service provides the best of these images to subscribing planetarians at a nominal cost. This service was inaugurated with HST in 1995 and with JPL in 1997.

You can subscribe to the IPS slide service by using the subscription form
available here or on your membership renewal form. Both IPS members and non-members may subscribe. Order forms must be received by January 15, 2004 if you want to subscribe for the next service period.

The next service period will begin on March 1, 2004 and will run for an
indefinite time until we have provided $39 worth of slides to subscribing
IPS members. Then the second service period will begin. This method will give us the flexibility to handle a variable flux of images while keeping
the costs as economical as possible.

We also thank Anita Sohus at JPL and John Stoke at STScI and their co-workers for their enthusiastic and continuing cooperation and support for this service. Through a recent agreement with STScI, subscribers to the direct IPS service will receive first-generation slides from HST!
