  1. Established in 1997 as NASA’s Optical and Ultraviolet Data Archive

    Supports Active missions: HST, GALEX, Kepler,... Legacy missions: IUE, FUSE, EUVE,... Optical & UV Data Archive
  2. The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) High Energy Astrophysics Science

    Archive Research Center (HEASARC) Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) & IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) Archive Centers Publications X-ray and Gamma Ray Infrared
  3. World-wide technical and scientific leadership in archive system design Secure

    storage and reliable retrieval services for data from HST and all MAST-supported missions User-friendly and scientifically useful search and cross-correlation tools Development and support for inter-archive communication and data transfer standards MAST
  4. Optimize the science from community-led astrophysics missions and projects. Develop,

    nurture, and share innovations in space astronomy science operations. Collaborate on the next generation of space astrophysics programs. MAST/STScI

  15. 2 years of HST operations $55M of GO/AR support 150

    FTE/years of postdoc support 150 FTE/years of grad student support more than 1,400 refereed papers at least 50,000 citations more than 300 papers at science meetings 60-80 science-related press releases 4 billion hits on HubbleSite
  16. “In the end, the Hubble mission’s science impact will certainly

    be dominated by archival papers” Rick White, MAST PI
