Commendation from the Space Shuttle program
The Unidata Program Center has received a commendation from the National Weather Service's Spaceflight Meteorology Group, thanking the program for providing the Local Data Manger software and technical support for both the LDM and McIDAS packages. Over the course of the Space Shuttle program, the LDM was used to transport observational and experimental data from a variety of sources, including the NWS and the University of Wisconsin Space Science and Engineering Center.

Version 6.10.0 of the LDM package was released on 2011-10-18. This version is recommended for all users and can be downloaded at https://downloads.unidata.ucar.edu/ldm/.
The major change in this version is the incorporation of the previously-separate NOAAPORT and GRIBINSERT packages. The NOAAPORT package creates LDM data-products from a NOAAPORT satellite feed and inserts them into an LDM product-queue. The GRIBINSERT package creates LDM data-products from GRIB messages in files and inserts them into an LDM product-queue. Most sites will not need either of these subpackages, so they are not installed by default. The installation instructions for this version indicate how to include these packages in the installation of the LDM system>
