| Abstract: |
The STScI is continuing its program to create data products and tools to increase the efficiency of observation planning and telescope operations. These include an long-term commitment to digitize, and distribute to the community, the second generation Schmidt plate surveys for both the Northern (POSS-II) and Southern (SES) hemispheres as an extension to the published Digitized Sky Survey (DSS). In addition to providing the images, STScI is leading a consortium to create a second version of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC-II) which will be used for both ground and space-based telescope operations. |
