FAQ
000 to FITS Conversion
What are 000 files?
000 is the file extension of the base data of an electronic navigational chart (ENC) in the IHO S-57 format, the international standard of the International Hydrographic Organization for the exchange of digital sea charts. Each file is one chart cell, a piece of the sea and coast with its depth areas, depth contours, soundings, coastline, buoys, lights, wrecks, and other marks, stored as points, lines, and areas with attributes. National hydrographic offices publish these cells for ships, which load them into navigation systems. When a chart changes, the office does not reissue the whole cell, but sends small update files with the extensions .001, .002, and so on, which are applied to the base file in order.
What are FITS files?
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
