This document describes the registration of the Multipurpose Internet
Mail Extensions (MIME) sub-types to be used by the international
astronomical community for the interchange of Flexible Image Transport
System (FITS) files. The encoding is defined by the published FITS
standard documents. The FITS format has been in use since 1979, and
almost all data from astronomical observations are interchanged by
using FITS.
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
