| Abstract: |
We present an overview of the recently created Multimission Archive at Space Telescope (MAST). The Hubble Data Archive has expanded to provide easy access to non-HST data sets. MAST includes the following: the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE), Copernicus (OAO-3), ASTRO HUT, WUPPE and UIT data sets, and VLA FIRST data. The Digitized Sky survey is also accessible through MAST. Data from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) currently scheduled for launch in early 1999, ORFEUS 1 & 2 EUV spectrometer data, and Voyager-1,2 UVS data will be added in the near future. Two 480-platter Plasmon CD-ROM jukeboxes provide data storage and easy access to the MAST data. Data hierarchy, ingest and retrievals, plans for expansion, and features of the web interface are also presented. Users can access data via a WWW interface at htmladdURL{http://archive.stsci.edu/mast.html}. |
