In time for the 40th Anniversary of Star Trek the Original Series is getting polished by being digitally remastered with new CGI effects. Many of the improvements will include The Enterprise is getting the CGI treatment based off the original model hanging in the Smithsonian Institution in DC, the opening sequence getting spiffed up with depth and dimension, most space shots improved, exterior matte paintings replaced with CGI versions and improved ships, battles and planets.
The television premiere of these changes seem to indicate early September starting with "Balance of Terror." The next batch of episodes will be chosen based on popularity rather then air order but the plan is to convert all 79 episodes.
The full press release from CBS is here.
