One of the many components of the software systems used to operate the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are the applications packages for calibration and scientific data analysis. Although of great importance to the observer, data analysis is at the end of the line in this extensive system. Calibration is a more integral part of telescope operations, in that the STScI will provide all HST observers with nominally calibrated data. However, it is recognized that many observers will wish to verify or modify the calibration themselves, so that the calibration software is also an integral part of the data analysis system. STSDAS — the Space Telescope Science Data Analysis System — is the software tool kit that allows HST observers to calibrate, reduce, and analyze HST observations.

STSDAS: The Space Telescope Science Data Analysis System

MIDAS will be the on-line image processing system used at ESO’s Very large Telescope (VLT). As the first step on its way to the telescopes, MIDAS will soon replace the IHAP system at ESO’s New Technology Telescope (NTT) when the NTT will be used also under remote control from ESO Headquarters in Garching. Observers will then have all utilities of a modern astronomical data analysis system at their finger tips, at the telescope.
