Scientific paper

The experiences gained during the operation of the archival/data analysis system, after almost two years of orbital operations of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), are described with particular emphasis on system operation in an internationally networked, multisystem, academic environment, which has, at least in some areas, industry type development, interface, reliability, security, and throughput requirements imposed on it. The data analysis system resides on a network of distributed processors, running mostly UNIX machines. Since HST data are worked on worldwide with many different software systems, the user community is provided with the most important systems in which HST data analysis and calibration software has been written: STSDAS (Space Telescope Science Data Analysis System) and IDL (Interactive Data Language).
