the archivial data from past missions
such as Einstein, HEAO
1, HEAO 3, OSO 8, SAS 2 and 3, Uhuru,
and Vela5B. Data from non-US
missions, eg, EXOSAT and Ginga,
also is provided as international agreements allow. The total
data
volume will be of the order of 1 Terabyte by
1995. These data are available on-line for
immediate access. For
on-line access, telnet to xray@legacy.gsfc.nasa.govand log in as XRAY.
The
HEASARC is located at the Goddard Space Flight Center and
is a collaboration between
Goddard's Laboratory for High Energy Astrophysics,
LHEA, and the NSSDC. The LHEA is
responsible for the
science content of the archive, the NSSDC is responsible for

has
taken over 17,000 plates, the plates are stored in the
Plate
Library at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh (ROE) and represent
a huge
source of data for the astronomical community. Some
300 active
