- The Science Operations Ground System (SOGS) consists of 3 VAX 8650's, one
- VAX 8600, one VAX 6000, one VAX 4000, and a whole bunch of DEC stations
- (4000's, 3100's etc...) The whole thing runs in VMS. We use a locally
- enhanced version of IRAF for data analysis. All science data is in FITS
- format.
