The HESSI mission is scheduled to be launched in late 2000-early 2001. HESSI will provide images and spectra of solar flares in the energy range from 3 keV to 10 MeV. HESSI data are stored as telemetry packets, as received from the spacecraft, in FITS binary tables. The HESSI data catalog for each file is appended to that data file as FITS binary tables. The catalog includes: the Observing Summary, which contains count rates in 9 energy bands, the Flare list, a summary of the solar flares observed for the time range covered by the file, the Instrument Log, which summarizes the instrument state-of-health data for the given time range, quick-look images for different energy bands for each flare, and quicklook spectra for each flare. Here we present a sample of HESSI catalog data derived from simulations for a week of data. We will also demonstrate how to access the HESSI catalog from the data files.
