SERTS-95 sounding rocket flight
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar
Physics Solar Extreme ultraviolet Rocket Telescope and Spectrograph
(SERTS) is scheduled to
be launched on 15 May, 1995, at 1800 UT. More information is available on
the objectives,
instrumentation, and collaborative observations for SERTS-95.
HRTS IX sounding rocket flight
The Naval Research Laboratory High-Resolution Telescope and Spectrograph is
scheduled to be launched, with a new spectrograph configuration, in April,
1995. Click here for
anonymous ftp access to the latest update, which can be found in a file with
a name of the form rocketnnn.txt.
New: High Energy Solar Imager (HESI)
Read the report of
the HESI Science Study Group, including recommendations for a strawman
scientific payload.
Solar Connections
NASA's Space Physics Division is ``embarking on a new voyage of discovery and
exploration to characterize our space environment,'' the
Solar Connections program.
The Yohkoh
Archive
The public Yohkoh archive at the SDAC now runs from Yohkoh
launch (1991 September) to 1994 April 2.
Data
Data requested via e-mail to
yohkoh_sdac@solar.stanford.edu or gurman@sdac.gsfc.nasa.gov
can be found
here via anonymous ftp.
Daily SXT full-field images in FITS format, starting with 1993 January 1, can
be accessed
here via anonymous ftp.
Yohkoh
SXT movies from the daily
FITS format images are now available directly via the Web.
New users can now find an
introduction to the analysis of Yohkoh data.
Thanks to Andy Phillips, Pam Spence, and Rob Bentley of
the Yohkoh Archive Centre
at MSSL (UK), current versions of the Yohkoh
Analysis Guide (YAG) are available both in hypertext form, as
and via anonymous ftp in
PostScript format.
New: Ever wonder what an anaglyph of two solar soft
X-ray images looks like? Via anonymous ftp, you can retrieve a
GIF
file of such an image, and read a
plain
text description of it, courtesy of David Batchelor of the NASA GSFC Space
Physics Data Facility. ....but you'll have to supply your own 3-D glasses.
The SDAC is now serving NASA Eclipse bulletins via both WWW and anonymous ftp.
Currently, the bulletins for the
total solar eclipses of 1994 November 3 and 1995 October 24 are online.

HRTS UV Solar Atlas
Through the generosity of Dr. Pål Brekke of the University of Oslo, the
High Resolution Spectrograph and Telescope (HRTS) ultraviolet solar atlas is
now available on the Web. Click here
