... The SIRTF Science Center is developing two Web-based tools that will be used during operations. One tool is for Quality Analysis. ... The basic design requirements for the QA tool are (1) that it provide an easy way of looking at all the data, observation by observation, and (2) that it provide an easy way to specify status and comments for each observation. ... The data accessed by this tool consists of meta-data in the central database as well as the actual data files in the archive. ...

... Instruments are more complicated than star catalogs, but a MIDAS table file is still useful for holding the description of an instrument. ... The main sub-table contains information about the passbands used, and the second sub-table describes the detector(s). ... Basic data for an instrument file include the passbands used (and any coding that is used to represent them in the data); the detectors used, and their properties; and general information about temperature control and optical cleanliness. ...

... The user database is traditionally contained in the /etc/passwd љ file. Some systems use shadow passwords , and have moved the passwords to /etc/shadow љ . ... However, installing shadow passwords later onto a system that did not support them can be difficult. ... The crack љ program can be used to crack passwords; any password it can find is by definition not a good one. ... The user group database is kept in /etc/group љ ; for systems with shadow passwords, there can be a /etc/shadow.group љ . ...

Courtesy of NASA's National Space Science Data Center . ... Venera 5 was launched from a Tyazheliy Sputnik (69-001C) towards Venus to obtain atmospheric data. The spacecraft was very similar to Venera 4, although it was of a stronger design. When the atmosphere of Venus was approached, a capsule weighing 405 kg and containing scientific instruments was jettisoned from the main spacecraft. During satellite descent towards the surface of Venus, a parachute opened to slow the rate of descent. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

. The ALFA instrument status window is a small window that presents a summary of the ALFA instrument status. The 'Open ALFA instrument monitor window' button opens the ALFA instrument monitor window which contains all the information that is summarised in the ALFA instrument status window.

SPICE system is a data system built by Navigation Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) , acting under the directions of NASA's Office of Space Science, to assist scientists in planning and interpreting scientific observations from space borne instruments. ... Scientists in many countries may be counted as SPICE customers. In addition to providing SPICE technology to NASA and international space missions the NAIF Group serves as the Ancillary Data Node of NASA's Planetary Data System . ...

Target: Venus . The Soviet VEGA Spacecraft Two remarkable "busloads" of automated spacecraft were launched toward Venus by the Soviet Union in December of 1984. Each one contains three separate modules: one lander and one balloon-carried atmosphere probe to be dropped off at Venus in June, 1985, and one major package of instruments which will continue on to encounter Halley's Comet in March, 1986. ...

SAOtng supports display of photon event data contained in raw files, similar to its support for FITS Binary Table extensions (e.g., X-ray event lists). ... Because event files do not usually contain enough information to generate an image, we have adopted some conventions for specifying how to interpret the data in these files and for how to bin rows of events into images. To image an event file, it is first of all necessary to define the structure of the events in the event file. ...
