IMAGE Software Suite

The IMAGE Mission is generating a truely unique set of magnetospheric measurement through a first-of-its-kind complement of remote, global observations. These data are being distributed in the Universal Data Format (UDF), which consists of data, calibration, and documentation. This is an open dataset, available to all by request to the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Browse data, which consists of summary observations, is also available through the NSSDC in the Common Data Format (CDF) and graphic representations of the browse data. Access to the browse data can be achieved through the NSSDC CDAWeb services or by use of NSSDC provided software tools. This presentation documents the software tools, being provided by the IMAGE team, for use in viewing and analyzing the UDF telemetry data. Like the IMAGE data, these tools are openly available. What these tools can do, how they can be obtained, and how they are expected to evolve will be discussed.
