    "This would have very important repercussions on the remote sensing / space community."

    From the website
    "For current multispectral imagery, please be aware that Landsat 5 TM, EO-1 Advanced Land Imager (ALI), and ASTER may provide useful data alternatives."

    Doesn't sound like total gloom and doom to me; but what do I know, I'm no asstronomer...
