Prior to June 1994 data processed in the U.S. were supplied in the following files:
| PSPC | |
| rp<seq#>.fits | Photon events, data quality, and good time intervals (binary table) |
| rp<seq#>_im1.fits | Compressed image for display -- total energy band |
| rp<seq#>_im2.fits | Compressed image for display -- hard energy band |
| rp<seq#>_im3.fits | Compressed image for display -- soft energy band |
| rp<seq#>_bk1.fits | Background map -- total energy band (image) |
| rp<seq#>_bk2.fits | Background map -- hard energy band (image) |
| rp<seq#>_bk3.fits | Background map -- soft energy band (image) |
| rp<seq#>_mex.fits | Exposure map with vignetting, ribs, and wobble (image) |
| rp<seq#>_sp.fits | Selected source spectra (ascii table) |

These files are not PROS compatible. They are SASS level 1
output files (see Data Products Guide).
