NASA Honors Agency Software Development
NASA selected a data analysis system for an Earth observing satellite instrument and a software program used on the International Space Station and Space Shuttle as winners of the agency's 2003 Software of the Year Awards. The data analysis system is for the orbiting Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWIFS) instrument. It makes the data collected about oceans and climate available to thousands of scientists around the world over the Internet. It also provides the necessary tools to break down and analyze the data in a consistent, scientific manner. It also ensures the data down linked from the instrument are of the highest quality. The SeaWiFS Data Analysis System (SeaDAS) is used at more than 500 sites in 50 countries. The SeaDAS team leader is Gene C. Feldman of Goddard. The SeaWiFS project is funded by NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, a long-term, coordinated research effort to study the Earth as a global system. Using the unique perspective available from space, NASA is observing, monitoring and assessing large-scale environmental processes, such as the oceans' productivity, focusing on climate change.

observance and in celebration marking a century of flight in 2003,
Goddard News features a historical NASA flight tidbit. This Month
in History: On Sept. 5, 1977, Voyager 1, one of a pair of
spacecraft was launched to explore the planets of the outer solar
system and the interplanetary environment. The Voyager 1 and 2 Saturn
flybys occurred nine months apart, with the closest approaches occurring
on Nov. 12 and Aug 25, 1981. Both Voyagers are heading out of the
solar system and will continue to operate and send bay valuable
data until at least the year 2020. For more on the Voyager mission,
