Samples of HST Data

These are sample datasets from some HST instruments. Use them to determine whether your software is compatible with the format of HST data.

For a more complete description of the files and the format, see the HST Data Handbook.

Note: The files in these directories will be delivered to your Web browser with a MIME type of application/octet-stream. Your browser should interpret them as binary files, and should attempt to save them to disk. If your browser does not behave this way, then set its "Load to local disk" option and reload.

Or you may access these datasets through ftp.
