 Dear OVT user,

Our OVT (Orbit Visualisation Tool) team faces a difficult period. 
Quite unexpectedly, the Swedish National Space Board (Rymdstyrelsen) has cut to zero
all financial support for this project, effective January 2004. 
Therefore, we will no longer be able to continue maintenance or further 
development of this software for other satellites and for experimental data display that
we were in a process of testing.
Understandably, we are rather concerned by this situation.

You, as an OVT user and member of the worldwide scientific community, can help 
affect the future of this project. To lend your support, we would be grateful if you could write
just a few lines expressing your opinion about the value of this software and how you feel 
this might be compromised if the project does not receive further financial support.

Your comments should be sent to the Swedish National Space Board
Per Tegner, general director

Kristof Stasiewicz (k.stasiewicz@irfu.se),

Thank you in advance for taking the time to help support what we hope you feel 
is a valuable scientific aid.

With Best Regards,

OVT Team
