- Send e-mail to NDADSA::ARCHIVES or archives@ndadsa.gsfc.nasa.gov
- subject: request rosat all
- Body of e-mail: sequence id of data (eg. rp800022 for US PSPC data sequence 800022, rf200069 for US filtered PSPC sequence 200069, rh141811 for US HRI sequence 141841, wp300057 for MPE PSPC data sequence 300057, wf200821 for MPE filtered PSPC sequence 200821, wh600092 for MPE HRI sequence 600092)
- Send mail
- ARMS will download the data to ANON_DIR:[DATA_DIST.ROSAT] on NDADSA and will send you an e-mail after the download is done. It typically takes 10-15 minutes for ARMS to download the data.
