The HEASARC at Goddard Space Flight Center is responsible for archiving
a considerable volume of data from many different high energy
astrophysics missions, including missions under the auspices of NASA
and missions in which NASA has cooperated with and supported other
agencies. Under the Office of Guest Investigator Programs (OGIP), the
HEASARC FITS Working Group has been organized to formulate
recommendations for FITS practice, required for files produced by
HEASARC/OGIP but intended for application throughout the high energy
astrophysics community.
