3. Contents of Database:

DARTS (Data ARchive and Transmission System) is a scientific database constructed mainly 
by the PLAIN Center at ISAS/JAXA to provide access for general researchers to the world's 
top level observation data in both terms of quality and quantity obtained by the scientific 
observation satellites of ISAS/JAXA.  At present, the data obtained from Akebono, Geotail, 
Reimei (magnetospheric observation satellites), Yohkoh, Hinode (solar observatory), Ginga, 
ASCA, Suzaku (astronomical X-ray observatory), etc. are distributed from DARTS.  Not only 
archiving ISAS/JAXA satellite data, we are also mirroring major international space science 
data sites, such as CDAWeb.

DARTS features:
・Observation data of the ISAS scientific satellites open to the general public 
・Search/distribution of data via WWW 
・Data analysis on the network 
・Issue of analysis software
