The GONG Farside Project focuses on improving software, adding magnetograms, predicting AR1088 magnetic activity, and generating Gaussian-smoothed velocity images. Future work includes enhancing site running, calibration, and emulator functions. The project aims to provide near-real-time data and integrate full hemisphere mapping with self-contained distribution. Scientific calibration and 4-year continuous data are part of the project's objectives.
