Scientific paper

In this ISR the contents and structure of the NICMOS science data files generated by the STScI ground system OPUS pipeline are described. NICMOS data differ from the data from prior HST science instruments in two ways. First, for most observing modes, the data are partially processed within NICMOS (using its autonomous computer) before the data are sent to the Science Data Formatter, stored onboard HST, and downlinked to the ground. Second, the STScI ground system structures the data into a single format which is used for all observing modes and which remains the same at each step along the data calibration process. Therefore, while the user of NICMOS data should understand the consequences of the different onboard processing options, all data are represented and stored in a common format and software can access them in a simple and consistent manner.
