This award funds continuing development and operation of a unique facility, the University of Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner. This device digitizes, at high speed, pairs of plates, such as those of the Palomar Sky Survey, permitting sophisticated func- tions such as astrometry, photometry, and pattern recognition. In the next three years, digitization of the first Palomar Sky survey will be completed and made available, on line, to the astronomical community, and work will be started on the second Palomar survey, providing important comparison data.

该奖项资金是明尼苏达大学自动化板扫描仪的独特设施的持续开发和运营。 该设备以高速数字化的板（例如Palomar Sky调查的板）数字化，可以允许复杂的功能（例如天文学，光度法和图案识别）。 在接下来的三年中，第一届Palomar Sky调查的数字化将完成并在线向天文学社区提供，并将在第二次Palomar调查中开始工作，提供重要的比较数据。
