*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

	Is there anyone out there that knows details on
	the Space Telescope (ST)? My questions are :

	(1)  Will the transmissions from the ST be PUBLIC
	     DOMAIN? (free to be recieved by anyone with
	     the satellite equipment to pick them up)

	(2)  Will the transmissions be scrambled or encrypted
	     in any way to prevent interception? (other than
	     encoding necessary to send the video data to
	     earth)

	(3)  What Image Processing equipment would be required
	     to obtain a suitable input to a PC or VCR.

	(4)  If the answers to the above are favorable, does 
	     anyone have projects in the works to do this? 

	I would be extremely grateful for any help. The ST is 
	about the only thing going up that would make it worth
	getting a satellite reciever, Who needs HBO when you
	can watch the STARS!!!
