Data Analysis System

STSDAS is a system of some 750,000 lines of code and documentation designed for the calibration and analysis of data from the Hubble Space Telescope. At its inception in 1981, when it was known simply as ‘SDAS’, the system was dependent on the VAX VMS operating system and architecture and was limited in scope to HST data analysis, excluding calibration. As it was realized that astronomers would want to be able to do their own calibrations of HST data, and that it was not cost-effective, either for end-users or for the software development effort, to have a system dependent on a proprietary operating system, the scope and objectives of the system were modified. The most fundamental change was the decision to fully layer the STSDAS software on the Image Reduction and Analysis Facility -IRAF – from the National Optical Astronomy Observatories. For a review of the historical aspects of the development of STSDAS, please see Hanisch (1989).

Classroom Use

The data, scientific results, and expertise from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and other NASA Missions are being integrated into programs that support innovative and experimental methods to improve content in science and math education. Partnerships with science museums, teachers, other educators, community colleges, universities and other key organizations integrate unique and cutting edge science data and the associated satellite technology into resources which have the potential to enhance science, math and technical learning. The inspiring nature of astronomical data and the technology associated with the HST and other missions can be used by teachers to engage students in many inventive activities. The resources created through collaborative teaming will be discussed, as well as the process for creating partnerships to benefit the education community. Many NASA supported programs encourage electronic access and distribution of multi-media interactive activities and curriculum support materials distributed across the Internet.
