EnviroNET: An Interactive Space-Environment Information Resource

Abstract

EnviroNET is an interactive menu-driven system set up as an information resource for experimenters, program managers, and design and test engineers who are involved in space missions. Its basic use is as a fundamental single-source of data for the environment encountered by Shuttle and Space Station payloads, but it also has wider applicability in that it includes information on environments encountered by other satellites in both low altitude and high altitude (including geosynchronous) orbits. It incorporates both a text-retrieval mode and an interactive modeling code mode. The system is maintained on the ENVNET MIcroVAX computer at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. Its services are available at no cost to any user who has access to a terminal and a dial-up port. It is a tail-node on SPAN, and so it is accessible either directly or through BITNET, ARPANET, and GTE/TELENET via NPSS. Keywords: Environment; Shuttle environment; EnviroNET; Space Environment, Computer program.
