... Operations of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) require the creation of stable and efficient observation schedules in an environment where inputs to the plan can change daily. ... A process and software architecture is presented which achieves stable and efficient observation schedules by dividing the task into long term and short term components. ... However, the resulting long range plan would be unstable as unscheduled observations in a week bin would have to be rescheduled. ...

... 88, Jan. 1983, p. 1-15. l. A survey of extragalactic radio sources made using driven declination scans is reported covering an area of about 0.07 sr to a limiting flux density of 35 mJy. The fast-scan survey was carried out at a galactic latitude greater than 17 deg with the NRAO 91-m telescope operating at 4.755 GHz, and the 480 sources detected were reobserved at 1.4 GHz with the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center 305-m telescope at Arecibo. ...

The information path to prepare, perform and reduce a radioastronomical observation, using the Arcos correlator , is schematized in the figure: . The programs reside part on the computer network of the Arcetri Observatory, and part at the Medicina Radio Telescope . All programs running at Arcetri are written for a Sun workstation, and are public domain software, available upon request. Programs running at the telescope are written for a PC with DOS/Windows (or Linux).

... Perhaps the most interesting satellites in this group are the ones sent into distant orbits, some of them extending well past the Moon--e.g. the WIND spacecraft pictured here. Among them is a long series of IMP s (Interplanetary Monitoring Platforms) which sampled the Earth's distant magnetic environment, the magnetosphere, and the surrounding interplanetary region; IMP-8 is still returning good data, more than 20 years after its launch. ...
