Description:
The "Data Inventory of Space-Based Celestial Observations Version
1.0" (DISCO) is a directory to data contained in sixteen catalogs
dealing with observations from space. (Sounding rocket, solar, and
planetary observations have been excluded.) The information
extracted from the catalogs includes names of objects observed, 1950
equatorial coordinates, and the name of the catalog or instrument. A
second file contains full references to the source catalogs and
other pertinent information.
The purpose of creating DISCO is (1) to unify astronomical
observations from space, which are at present scattered and hard to
locate, and then (2) to provide a machine-readable index to these
observations, thus enabling easy access by computer. Such a
directory will permit an astronomer to find out what objects have
been observed from space, which spacecraft and instruments made the
observations, and where to go to find the data themselves.
