[ESIP-all] Looking for recent earth observations of the Tasman Sea

All, is there any chance the Nina had a COSPAS-SARSAT distress beacon?  Has anyone checked with COSPAS-SARSAT about whether distress signal from the Tasman Sea has been received by the LEO satellites?

Dear Michael, Brian and Joe,

If we are indeed talking about the schooner Nina, I have been in contact with some of the friends and family of the missing crew for the past week.  DigitalGlobe has tasked some imagery collects over the Tasman and we are gathering more imagery right now.  We have launched the Tomnod crowdsourcing platform to engage the public's help in covering this huge search area. If you would like to contribute -- or share with others who would -- please go to:
http://tomnod.com/nod/challenge/ninarescue2

If you have any better estimates of the likely drift area, feedback on the crowdsourcing platform or other suggestions, please get in touch.

Hi All,

I have cced Luke Barrington, who is part of the team heading up tomnod within DG.  I believe they launched a deployment for the missing Schooner Nina yesterday, is this the boat you are talking about?

warmest wishes and good luck!

Last night I sent an email to Brett Thomassie  at Digital Globe.  He is the Digital Globe rep for federal data systems, so perhaps Digital Globe will be able to help.
Ken Keiser also contacted Burgess Howell who is the PI for the NASA ISERV instrument on the Space Station.

Of course we don't know how things will turn out, but it is good to see so many ESIP scientists motivated to help by trying to make connections.

Hi Joe,

Tomnod was Albert Lin's (CCed) platform (which he had originally developed for the Valley of the Khans Project to crowdsource the search for candidate Genghis Khan tomb sites):  see http://albertyuminlin.com/About.php) before it was acquired by Digital Globe.  Albert's team, whom he brought to Mongolia for the project, are now managing Tomnod within DigitalGlobe.  Albert has forwarded your correspondence to his old team.  Feel free to reach out to Albert, whose contact information is provided below.
